Abstract: Pacific Gas and Electric Company has experienced the same drastic increase in vehicle owning and operating costs that has been felt by every vehicle owner in the United States today. Although bulk gasoline purchases afford significant savings for large fleet operators 1.24/gal. today as compared to .55/ gal just three years ago), the increase is proportional to retail prices for the same interval. Most of us have nearly forgotten the outrage we felt as recently as mid-1979, when some unscrupulous service station operators jacked up the price to one dollar per gallon and it was approximately three years ago that gasoline retailed for .65/gal. Other vehicie costs, purchase price and replacement parts and accessories, have tracked the basic inflationary curve over this same interval. Tripling of gasoline costs in approximately five years has had the greatest impact on our increased cost of owning and operating our fleet service vehicles.
