The unpleasant fact is that if the economy continues to grow, the demand for fuel will follow suit as will the escalation of fuel prices. Do you have a fuel conservation program in place? Small incentives for drivers will reap benefits in the bottom line if managed properly. Be proactive; put your program in place today.
