CAFM Vehicle Fuel Management 3

Question 1

Which technology automatically records fuel dispensed, vehicle ID, and timestamp at a fleet fueling site?

Accepted Answer

Automated fuel management systems (AFMS)

Answer

Automated fuel management systems use card readers or RFID to capture fueling data in real time, linking each transaction to a specific vehicle.

Question 2

What is the primary reason fleet managers monitor idle time in relation to fuel management?

Accepted Answer

Idling burns fuel without producing useful mileage

Answer

A vehicle idling burns fuel at roughly 0.5–1 gallon per hour while generating zero miles, directly inflating fuel cost per mile.

Question 3

When evaluating telematics data for fuel management, which driver behavior has the single largest impact on fuel consumption?

Accepted Answer

Speeding above posted limits

Answer

Sustained high-speed driving significantly increases aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption, making speed the dominant fuel-consumption behavior factor.

Question 4

A fleet manager wants to reduce fuel theft at off-site retail locations. Which fuel card control is most effective?

Accepted Answer

Limiting cards to specific geographic areas

Answer

Geographic restrictions prevent cards from being used outside the fleet's operating territory, directly limiting unauthorized use far from work routes.

Question 5

What is 'fuel shrinkage' in the context of bulk fuel storage management?

Accepted Answer

The difference between fuel delivered and fuel dispensed

Answer

Fuel shrinkage is the unaccounted variance between volume received from the supplier and volume dispensed, indicating evaporation, leaks, or theft.
