FAQ Answer

Question

Can the fuel spend gap be fixed by adjusting the fuel card system?

Answer
No, adjusting the fuel card system will not fix the gap because the issue is data missing at the GPS controller level, not in the purchase records. The fuel card system records fuel purchases accurately, but the tracking system estimates consumption based on engine hours. Without accurate engine hour data from unconnected devices, the estimated fuel spend will always be lower than actual fuel purchases.
