UK Petrol Guide: Expert Insights

Posted on | by Marion Hanson

As the shift toward electric vehicles gains momentum, we understand that your business needs to carefully consider the timing and method of transitioning to an electric fleet. This decision involves more than just financial factors; it also requires consideration of driver preferences, the feasibility of implementing EV charging infrastructure, and the administrative challenges of updating your fleet.

Given these complexities, we recognise that electric vehicles may not be the best fit for every new addition to your fleet. That’s why it’s important to explore other available fuel options. This comprehensive guide on petrol will help you make an informed decision about the most suitable fuel type for your business.

What is petrol?

In this section, we will discuss what the different types of petrol are and which are the best suited to different types of fleet vehicles or situations.

What is E5 petrol?

E5 petrol is a type of unleaded petrol that contains up to 5% ethanol, a renewable biofuel made from plant materials like sugarcane or corn. The “E” in E5 stands for ethanol, and the “5” indicates the percentage of ethanol mixed with the petrol.

What is E10 petrol?

E10 petrol is a type of unleaded petrol that contains up to 10% ethanol, a renewable biofuel made from plant materials such as corn or sugarcane. The “E” in E10 stands for ethanol, and the “10” indicates the percentage of ethanol mixed with the petrol.

E10 contains a higher percentage of ethanol compared to E5, which has up to 5% ethanol. This makes E10 slightly more renewable and potentially less harmful to the environment because ethanol produces fewer carbon emissions when burned compared to pure petrol.

 

Benefits of petrol fleet vehicles

Cost efficiency

If your drivers use fuel cards, this could result in lower overall fuel costs for your business.

Petrol vehicles also typically have a lower purchase price compared to diesel, electric, and hybrid models. Whether you’re buying the vehicle outright or through a contract purchase or hire agreement, this often translates to lower upfront costs or reduced monthly payments.

How much is petrol per litre?

As of now, the average price of petrol in the UK is £1.47 per litre according to the RAC. This can vary on a day-to-day basis depending on your location and the specific petrol station you visit, but this is the current national average.

 

How many miles per litre of petrol?

The number of miles per litre of petrol (MPL) can vary significantly depending on different factors, including the type of vehicle, driving conditions, and driving habits. With our mileage counter, you will be able to see how many miles your fleet vehicles are doing in a typical day, as well as other interesting insights.

Fuel efficiency for typical cars

The average fuel efficiency for cars in the UK is around 10 to 15 miles per litre (MPL). Smaller, more efficient vehicles, such as city cars or hybrids, can achieve closer to 15-20 MPL, while larger vehicles like SUVs might be closer to 8-12 MPL.

Factors Impacting Efficiency

Driving at higher speeds, carrying heavy loads, frequent stop-and-go driving, and poor vehicle maintenance can all reduce fuel efficiency while driving smoothly at moderate speeds on motorways can increase it.

 

Reduced emissions

While petrol vehicles emit fewer pollutants overall than diesel, incorporating petrol models into a predominantly diesel fleet could help lower your business’s overall emissions.

Considerations for petrol fleet vehicles

While petrol vehicles offer some benefits, they also have potential considerations:

Fuel efficiency

Petrol vehicles are often less fuel-efficient than other types of fuel, which can impact your fuel expenses, particularly if your drivers are less economical in their driving habits. This may warrant additional training to improve fuel efficiency.

Higher CO2 emissions

Petrol engines emit more CO2 per mile compared to other fuel types, which could result in higher penalties, such as increased Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rates or higher company car tax contributions.

E5 and E10 fuel considerations

Recent changes to standard petrol options at fuel stations mean that E10, which contains up to 10% renewable ethanol, is now the default choice, replacing E5 with 5% ethanol.

This shift is part of an effort to reduce the environmental impact of petrol. However, it’s important to check the compatibility of older vehicles in your fleet with E10 fuel.

Is E10 harmful to vehicles?

Most modern vehicles can safely use E10 petrol. However, older models may experience issues due to the higher bioethanol content, which can be corrosive to certain components and potentially cause engine damage or blockages. Additionally, there might be a slight decrease in fuel efficiency when switching from E5 to E10, particularly in vehicles with smaller engines.

The value of premium petrol

Premium petrol, which remains an E5 blend, is recommended for vehicles that are not compatible with E10.

For drivers who prioritise fuel economy or those with older vehicles, using premium petrol can offer more mileage despite its higher cost.

Which petrol is best for your fleet

The best petrol option for your fleet depends on your fuel use priorities. E10 is widely available and more affordable, while E5 offers better fuel efficiency and a higher octane content, which can further enhance performance.

Mixing premium and super unleaded petrol

You can safely mix premium and super unleaded petrol in the same tank, allowing flexibility across your fleet without needing to assign specific fuel types to particular vehicles.

Deciding if petrol is right for your fleet

Regularly reviewing your fleet procurement policies and considering the fuel type for each new vehicle is crucial from a sustainability and cost angle. We recommend weighing the pros and cons of petrol, as outlined above, and comparing it with other fuel options to make the best choice for your fleet. Our guides on petrol vs. diesel, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles, can assist you in this decision-making process.

Working Time Directive: UK Guide

Posted on | by Marion Hanson

If you manage a variety of fleet vehicles within the UK, ensuring compliance with drivers’ hours regulations is crucial.

These rules govern driver rest periods and working hours to promote safety and prevent fatigue, with non-compliance leading to significant penalties.

Our guide simplifies some of the more intricate rules to help you better understand your obligations.

What is a working time directive?

Drivers’ hours regulations are designed to enhance driver well-being and improve road safety. Commercial vehicles are required by law to be equipped with tachographs, which record data such as driving time and distance.

All commercial bus and truck drivers must have a tachograph driver card, which stores critical compliance-related data, including rest and break periods. These regulations ensure fair competition among transport companies and help prevent driver fatigue.

European working time directive: Working hours for fleet drivers?

According to the UK’s Working Time Regulations 1998, drivers must receive “adequate rest,” although the specific duration is not defined. However, there are strict rules on driving hours and working times, these rules are below:

  • Drivers are limited to a maximum of 10 hours of driving and 11 hours of duty within a 24-hour workday.
  • The 11-hour duty limit does not apply if drivers spend between 0 to 4 hours driving each day of the week.
  • Certain drivers, such as doctors and service workers, are exempt from the 11-hour duty rule, but the maximum driving hours still apply.
  • When operating vehicles in the UK that do not have a tachograph installed, drivers must maintain a written record of their hours. Detailed information is available on the UK government’s website.

Compliance with the EU working time directive in the UK

Even post-Brexit, your fleet may need to adhere to EU drivers’ hours regulations and tachograph requirements, especially for vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes that travel within the UK or to, from, or through EU countries.

EU rules dictate maximum driving times and mandatory rest periods to ensure safety.

To remain compliant, fleet managers must regularly download and analyse tachograph data—every 28 days for drivers and every 90 days for vehicles.

EU regulations under Regulation (EC) No 561/2006

  • A daily driving limit of 9 hours, extendable to 10 hours no more than twice a week.
  • A weekly driving limit of 56 hours, with a maximum of 90 hours over two consecutive weeks.
  • A mandatory rest period of at least 45 hours each week, starting no later than six days after the previous rest period.

What is classed as work during these hours?

Working time includes any activity for which drivers are paid, such as attending training sessions, performing administrative tasks, loading and unloading vehicles, and conducting vehicle maintenance. Essentially, any time when drivers are unable to freely manage their own time is considered working time.

How many hours can I work if I opt-out of the working time directive?

If you choose to opt out of the Working Time Directive in the UK, you are not limited to the standard 48-hour maximum weekly working time. However, there are still important considerations and legal requirements to keep in mind:

Agreement

You must formally agree to opt out of the 48-hour limit, usually by signing an opt-out agreement with your employer. This agreement should specify that you are voluntarily choosing to work more than 48 hours per week.

Health and safety

Even if you opt-out, your employer is still responsible for ensuring your health and safety. This means that they should not require you to work excessive hours that could pose a risk to your well-being.

Rest breaks

The opt-out does not affect your entitlement to rest breaks. You are still entitled to a minimum of 11 hours of rest between workdays and at least one uninterrupted 24-hour rest period per week (or 48 hours every two weeks).

 

Review and withdrawal

You can opt back into the 48-hour limit at any time, even after initially opting out. To do this, you must give your employer at least 7 days’ notice (or a longer period if specified in your agreement).

While opting out allows you to work more than 48 hours per week, it’s crucial to consider the potential impact on your health, work-life balance, and overall well-being before agreeing to anything.

Working time directive for HGV drivers

These regulations apply to many haulage operators and drivers of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) over 3.5 tonnes, especially those operating within or travelling to, from, or through EU countries. Exceptions in the UK include vehicles used by the military, police, and fire services.

What are digital tachographs?

Digital tachographs are essential for fleet managers to ensure compliance with drivers’ hours regulations. These devices collect a wide range of data, from vehicle registration numbers to driver activities, including incidents like speeding or driving without a driver card.

How often do you download digital tachographs?

Regularly downloading and analysing this data is crucial—at least every 28 days for drivers and every 90 days for vehicles.

Consequences of non-compliance to the UK working time directive

Failure to comply with driver’s hours regulations can result in fines, imprisonment, or revocation of an operating license. Accountability can extend to companies, fleet managers, drivers, and even scheduling personnel if work is not properly organised or if standard checks are not conducted.

 

Ensuring a compliant working time directive with Fuel Card Services

Our award-winning fleet management software is user-friendly, featuring a flexible interface that provides reliable structure and support.

This software allows fleet drivers to easily track their hours seamlessly, and for fleet management to check these hours to ensure these hours align with current working time directive laws.

What is Adblue Used For? Fleet Manager Guide

Posted on | by Marion Hanson

The brand name Adblue is for an additive that is used to clean up diesel emissions through a process called selective catalytic reduction (SCR).

This solution of diesel exhaust fluid is a fairly new technology that can be used to treat exhaust gases and remove harmful pollutants. These can include Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) which includes the harmful nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

Adblue is a biodegradable, water-soluble and colourless liquid which has been used in commercial vehicles since 2002, with it most recently being used for diesel cars.

For it to work and the process to be successful, Adblue must be stored in the tank of the vehicle where it has a funnel that it can be poured into. It is important to remember that, unlike petrol or diesel, it is not injected into the engine, but instead through the vehicle exhaust where a chemical reaction causes harmless nitrogen and water to be emitted instead of harmful NOx exhaust gases

Why do we Need AdBlue?

Adblue became prevalent when responses to emission regulation were put in place by the EU to protect air quality and population health – by reducing harmful emissions.

Diesel cars that were registered after September 1, 2015, are required to emit a maximum of 80mg/km of NOx to become compliant – this will require you to check that AdBlue levels are maintained at all times.

When is a Top-up Needed?

A warning light in the cab will signal when a top-up is needed. You must listen to these warnings and act immediately to top up to the manufacturer’s recommended level.

Consumption and top-up levels can vary from one vehicle to another, they can also depend on driving style; Economical drivers are less likely to have to fill up AdBlue levels often. In general, diesel vehicles need a top-up every 3,000 to 4,000 miles, whilst other drivers claim they only need a top-up every 12,500 (fitting with the service interval of some, but not all, models.)

How Much AdBlue Does a Truck Use?

4-8% is the average use of AdBlue versus diesel for trucks with local distribution being an average and 500L per annum and national distribution being approximately 1,000L per annum.

Truck fleet drivers should work to maintain levels and top up every time they fill up on fuel.

 

Availability and AdBlue Cost

Usually available in 5,10 and 20L cans, 200L drums and 1000L intermediate bulk containers (referred to as IBCs) or via designated AdBlue dispensing systems.

Service stations usually have dispensing pumps. If none is available at the pump, portable containers can be bought at garages, filling stations or supermarkets. Prices begin at roughly £1 per litre if bought in small amounts, but you can reduce these costs if you run a large fleet and decide to buy in bulk.

Running Out of AdBlue

If AdBlue levels aren’t closely monitored and maintained, you may get into a situation where you’re running out of AdBlue, in these instances if the warning light is ignored and it runs out, the vehicle will lose power and not restart until replenished. Depending on the vehicle, the engine may or may not shut down, in other situations, engine performance will just be limited when AdBlue supplies are depleted.

If equipped with SCR technology your engine will reduce emissions according to current legal standards, this emission legislation only allows small amounts of NOx. If this level is exceeded then you may run the risk of illegal limits and be therefore liable for penalties.

If your vehicle has already shut down then there will be no permanent damage to the vehicle, but higher costs in terms of time and money will be involved. Time in the sense of having to have your vehicle recovered, and money in terms of the dealership having to reset and fill up the fleet vehicle at a cost. During this time, off-road costs will occur and the business will be one vehicle down until it is ready to go again.

To avoid the costs above, we advise drivers to keep a supply on board and to keep an eye on their vehicle’s warning light to monitor any depleting levels of AdBlue.

AdBlue Storage

When it comes to bulk storage there is a variety of storage and dispensing options. Some popular options include a 210-litre drum fitted with a hand-operated pump, right up to a 15,000-litre bulk tank fitted with overflow and spill alarms – with some options having telematic systems that place repeat orders when stock levels reach pre-determined minimums.

The volume of AdBlue consumed will determine which option is appropriate. An IBC holding 1,000 litres is a convenient option for storing and dispensing AdBlue for small fleets.

If AdBlue consumption exceeds one IBC per month, a storage tank investment is recommended. A typical tractor unit will consume AdBlue at the rate of 4-8% of diesel consumption.

When it comes to the storage of AdBlue, there are no specific regulations – although the Environmental Agency has issued a set of guidelines which can be accessed via their website.

They state that if AdBlue is stored correctly then it “poses minimal risk to operators and a limited risk to the environment.” Although the agency does add that AdBlue is “very polluting to surface water and groundwater” – due to this, there are guidelines if you have a spillage and fail to follow them – posing a risk to water sources. This takes place under the Anti-Pollution Works Regulations 1999 to issue a works notice forcing necessary improvements to be made.

AdBlue quality is extremely important as contamination can result in damage to your SCR catalyst or after treatment which increases harmful emissions.

You should avoid AdBlue contamination at all times.

  • Do not let it come in contact with fuel, oil, water, dust, dirt, metals, detergent etc.
  • Do not place anything inside the AdBlue container as this will compromise quality.
  • Make sure the AdBlue is not mixed with diesel or any other liquids.
  • Urea quality is important – do not try to mix your own AdBlue.
  • If using jugs or vessels to transport AdBlue, make sure they are clean, as vessels used to carry diesel or oil could contaminate the mixture.
  • Use dedicated AdBlue materials.

 

What do I do when I accidentally put AdBlue in my diesel tank?

In this situation DO NOT start your engine!

Depending on the amount of AdBlue used, you may damage your engine when starting it – first, you should empty and clean your tank. This includes draining the whole tank and discarding any leftover mixture.

This is due to even the slightest drop of diesel polluting the AdBlue in your tank. With this one drop of diesel has the potential to pollute up to 20 litres of AdBlue. Running your engine whilst this takes place will disrupt your SCR system.

To prevent further damage – contact your vehicle manufacturer or supplier as you may need to replace certain AdBlue components.

Finding Your Local Fuel Station With Fuel Card Services

Now you know the importance of AdBlue and how to use it safely, why not check out your AdBlue levels, using our useful pump locator app to check where your local fuel station is if you’re running low – your fleet vehicle will thank you for it!

Asset Tracking – A Small Business Guide

Posted on | by Marion Hanson

When searching through all your physical assets it may surprise you just how many there are; It is crucial to perfect your asset-tracking practices to make the most of these resources.

These practices involve scanning barcode labels or using GPS and RFID tags to pinpoint your asset’s location.

Every business, including yours, should prioritise asset tracking and inventory management because it offers valuable information about asset status, scheduled maintenance and other important information.

This allows for successful business operations. It enables organisations to optimise resource allocation, reduce operational costs, ensure compliance and enhance overall productivity.

How Does Asset Tracking Work?

Asset tracking involves overseeing and managing an organisation’s physical assets, which can include anything from office equipment to vehicles, IT assets, machinery, and more.

Although it is sometimes viewed as time-consuming and expensive, there are asset tracking methods, such as asset management software, that can save both time and money.

The main goal of any asset tracking system is to enhance asset control efficiency while reducing equipment loss. Asset management software allows for real-time asset tracking, leading to more efficient production planning and minimised downtime.

An asset management software can also schedule necessary maintenance and servicing, including preventive maintenance. Additionally, it incorporates barcode technology, allowing fixed assets to be scanned for accurate and efficient tracking.

Data is gathered via barcodes to aid in asset tracking. Each asset is assigned a unique barcode, enabling individual recognition and tracking. These barcodes contain essential business information, such as location, service history, ROI, and more. Barcode scanners read each barcode, facilitating faster and more accurate asset counting while eliminating the risk of human error.

UK Fleets Lose £1,900 per Year to Crime: New Survey Reveals Underinvestment in Security

Posted on | by Marion Hanson

New research from Fuel Card Services takes a look under the bonnet at exactly how UK fleets have been impacted by crime over 12 months, revealing interesting insights into the ratio of security spending to crime-induced losses.

The March 2024 survey gathered data from 250 fleet managers across the UK, with fleets ranging from 1-1000+ vehicles and containing a full spectrum of fleet vehicle types including LCVs, HGVs, buses, vans, and cars. Here’s exactly what we found.

The majority of UK fleets are plagued by crime

Crime rates are on the rise with more and more fleets experiencing criminal interference including theft and vandalism. In total, 64% of fleets reported that they had been subject to some form of criminal damage in the 12 months since March 2023.

The most common instances of crime include vehicle damage, and theft of assets. Fleets of all shapes and sizes, and across a variety of industries were subject to criminal acts – which suggests that security is imperative regardless of the nature of your operations.

But what exactly was the real term cost of crime?

£1,900 per year: The staggering cost of fleet crime

Across the entire survey sample, the cost of crime per fleet was reportedly £1,900 over the past year, which is a significant sum of money and suggestive of widespread damage to fleet assets.

Interestingly, the average cost of crime for small-medium sized fleets comprising 11-50 vehicles was reported at over £1,700 – a figure that could significantly affect cash flow and disrupt operations. In cases of theft, there are often hidden costs beyond the raw impact of crime, for example if fleets are forced to make insurance claims that affect premiums.

Almost 60% of respondents surveyed lost upwards of £1000 in cases of theft and damage, which will have undoubtedly been felt hardest by smaller fleets. What measures, then, are being taken to prevent crime and invest in security?

Underprepared and underfunded: Fleets’ security spending falls short

Whilst you might expect the cost of security investments to vastly outweigh the real-term impact of crime, this turned out not to be the case. On average, commercial fleets surveyed reported spending just £3,100 on security investments during the 12 months since March 2023.

Over fifty fleets surveyed comprised 51-100 company vehicles, yet the average investment into security was just £1,700 for this sample group. Why, though, are fleets underspending on vital security measures?

One theory is that the cost of living has drastically impacted the fleet security landscape. It may account for an increase in theft, and make fleets reluctant to invest in security at the expense of operational cash flow – indicating a possible ‘can do without’ attitude from fleet managers.

Interestingly, one fleet of over 1001 vehicles reported investing less than £3 per vehicle on security measures over the 12 month period – suggesting fleets may be over-relying on existing infrastructure.

Key learnings from the study

It’s essential that fleets acknowledge the importance of being proactive in investing into fleet security to limit the cost of criminal damage, and set up for long-term success. One additional finding from the survey piece was that fleets with HGVs incurred the most costs compared with other vehicles, and so a poignant question for fleet managers to ask could be:

Does my security spending properly reflect the value of my fleet vehicles?

While this survey has helped shine a light on current thinking within UK fleets, it raises a lot of questions. Are fleet managers aware of how important it is to invest? Are they prioritising other expenses? And are budgets simply not big enough? In the short term, it could be worthwhile having these discussions and taking a step back to evaluate overall business priorities and expenditure.

At Fuel Card Services, we aim to support fleets with a comprehensive set of solutions that help improve security and reduce costs, such as advanced telematics systems that help you keep an eye on exactly where fleet vehicles are at all times.
