April 2011 Fuel Target.

Once again the cost of diesel has risen steeply in the month, increasing 4p from March.

We all need to take positive actions to cut our fuel costs.

1. Question if the journey is necessary.

2. Reduce our average speed by 5mph.

3. Do not leave vehicles with their engines running on site and in depots.

4. Ensure vehicles are not carrying unnecessary load.

5. Vehicle share where possible.
