FTA's 'fuel fractions' table shows fuel costs as a proportion of total annual vehicle and driver cost for a range of hgv.
Using information from this table and fuel price movement over the last 12 months (see operator tools), it is possible to calculate the annual change in vehicle operating costs occurring purely as a result of the movement in fuel prices.
