Fuel prices surged by nearly $2 per gallon in early 2026 — and structural refining constraints mean that kind of volatility isn’t going away. For fleet managers, fuel costs feel like something to absorb. This session reframes it as something to manage.

Driver behavior accounts for 15% to 40% of fuel consumption variance between identical vehicles. However, fuel represents only the most apparent expense. Inconsistent and aggressive driving behaviors can also accelerate maintenance wear, drive insurance premiums in a market that has posted rate increases for 58 consecutive quarters, and increase incident exposure. Across all four dimensions, the annual cost gap between your most aggressive and most conservative drivers can exceed $9,000 per vehicle.

This session gives fleet leaders the data and the framework to act — and the language to make the case internally when every budget line is under scrutiny.

Learning objectives:

• Attendees will leave this session able to:
• Explain why fuel volatility is structural and what that means for fleet budgeting.
• Quantify the per-vehicle cost of aggressive driving across fuel, maintenance, insurance, and crash exposure.
• Identify which driver behaviors most impact fuel efficiency and how coaching programs have delivered results in light- and medium-duty fleets.
• Describe what underwriters want to see at renewal — and how documented safety improvement elevates your negotiating position.
