And with fuel being necessary to running your business you may often think there is nothing you can do about high fuel costs. However, properly maintaining vehicles and educating your drivers are two of the best ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/leaders-increasing-fleet-fuel-savings\/\">maximize fuel efficiency<\/a> and reduce high fuel expenses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Check out these 5 easy fuel saving tips to start reducing fuel expenses today:<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Change Your Air Filter<\/strong>Up to 10% of your engine&#8217;s efficiency can be compromised and internal engine parts can be damaged from a clogged air filter. A clean air filter can improve a vehicle&#8217;s gas mileage by up to 10%, according to the federal government. If you change your air filter every 12,000 miles you will protect the engine as well as improve fuel economy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check Your Tire Pressure<\/strong>The U.S. Department of Energy states drivers could increase their fuel efficiency by 3% by simply keeping their tires inflated. Your fuel costs increase per mile even if your tires are just 1 psi under inflated. It&#8217;s important to ensure your fleet&#8217;s tires are all inflated to the manufacturer&#8217;s recommended pressure to not only improve fuel efficiency but provide a safer ride as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Slow Down<\/strong>And Relax! If your drivers are stressed, they are much more likely to accelerate quickly and brake hard, reducing fuel efficiency. These poor driving habits can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 5% according to the EPA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Reduce Vehicle Weight<\/strong>100 pounds of extra weight in your vehicle can reduce fuel efficiency by 2%. This is especially prominent in smaller vehicles. Have your fleet drivers empty out anything that is not essential from their vehicles and ensure in the winter they are cleaning snow and ice off thoroughly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plan Routes<\/strong>Save on vehicle wear and tear and reduce miles driven by effectively planning your drivers routes. Also, try to keep track of where your drivers are throughout the day. This way if there is an emergency you can send the closest driver to the location. It&#8217;ll keep your customers happy by reaching them sooner <em>and<\/em> cut down on miles driven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These are small changes that can result in big savings. Educate your drivers on how their driving habits effect fuel efficiency and start working towards fuel savings today!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/increasing-profitability-telematics-download\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog.png\" alt=\"Easy Fuel Saving Tips for Fleet\" width=\"600\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog.png 600w, https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog-390x156.png 390w, https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog-252x101.png 252w, https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog-33x13.png 33w, https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog-405x162.png 405w, https:\/\/www.gofleet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Fleet-Profitability-CTA-editforblog-84x34.png 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/small><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Technology\/PainAtThePump\/story?id=5038652&amp;page=1\">Fact or Fiction?
