Do you want the total fuel costs for all of the vehicles that we have or do you want an average?

In the last financial year ending 31 March 2012 we spent a total of £38,205.99 on diesel and petrol and £3213.03 on LPG. Both figures are after the vat has been removed. We have 14 vehicles of various sizes. So the average is £2958.50 per vehicle.

That's fuel cards for you. :mrgreen:
Seriously though, some of our cars just do the school runs and others do considerably more miles.

I bet my cars MPG more than makes up for a few P per ltr you get off at the pumps though, unless all yours do 60MPG?
