How do you track average daily fuel cost to identify vehicles spending above normal?

In Jestor, the fleet management dashboard shows the daily fuel cost over the last 30 days, along with the number of liters consumed, letting you calculate an average expected spend and identify vehicles outside the normal pattern.

How day-by-day tracking works

The dashboard displays the total fuel cost over the last 30 days and breaks down, day by day, how much was spent and how many liters were consumed. Cross-referencing this data with each vehicle's mileage — recorded in its profile, along with its consumption per liter — makes it possible to calculate an expected average spend and quickly identify when a specific vehicle is consuming more fuel than forecast.

Data tracked What it's for
Cost per day Shows daily variation in fuel spending
Vehicle consumption per liter Basis for calculating the expected average per kilometer driven

How to identify a vehicle spending above normal

  1. Register each vehicle with its average consumption per liter.
  2. Track daily fuel cost on the dashboard, over the last 30 days.
  3. Compare recorded spending against each vehicle's mileage.
  4. Investigate vehicles whose daily cost is noticeably above the expected average.
