Manatee Fuel Savings Plan
Our proposed Recovery Plan factors in $400,000 in diesel fuel savings. We anticipate diesel fuel cost savings in three respects.
One, the overall cost of diesel fuel is anticipated to drop. While every delivery of fuel we receive varies in price, information from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows a projected price drop of 6.98% in retail diesel fuel costs from 2012 to Follow information obtained from our contracted suppliers supports an anticipated average cost of $3.00 per gallon for the fiscal year.
Two, we replaced 48 of our oldest, least fuel efficient school buses with new, highly fuel efficient buses. These new buses will increase our “mile per gallon” efficiency from 5.75 mpg to 7.70 mph for those 48 buses.
Three, our new routing software has decreased idle time by approximately 50%. While idle time is a relatively small factor in our overall operating costs, those savings are real.
As the worksheet shows, the District’s actual diesel fuel spend in was $2,059,432. Total projected spend for , factoring in the above savings, is $1,594,752. Total anticipated savings from to is, therefore, $464,679. We rounded that figure down to $400,000 to be conservative in our estimates.
