Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

OUR COMPANY HAS signed the FairFuelUK petition, as we are keen to let the government know our feelings towards the ever-increasing fuel costs.

We are doing our utmost to reduce the amount of fuel we use by funding SAFED training, limiting vehicles to 52mph, itting wind delector kits and so on.

But the fact is, the gain we make from this effort is being wiped out by the government’s fuel duty hikes.

I really do feel for the smaller operators who do not have the re sources to reduce fuel consumption and who do not have the customer relationships that allow for fuel surcharges: they are going to ind it very dificult to survive in 2011. Steve Granite MD, Abbey Road Tanks
