These Advisory Fuel Rates (AFR) are calculated from the fuel prices in the tables below.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 1400 | 57.0 | 48.4 | 117.1 | 532.2 | 11.0 | 11 |
| 1401 to 2000 | 45.4 | 38.6 | 117.1 | 532.2 | 13.8 | 14 |
| Over 2000 | 29.3 | 24.9 | 117.1 | 532.2 | 21.4 | 21 |
Diesel
| Engine size (cc) | Mean MPG | Applied MPG | Fuel price (per litre) | Fuel price (per gallon) | Pence per mile | AFR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 1600 | 70.3 | 59.8 | 119.3 | 542.5 | 9.1 | 9 |
| 1601 to 2000 | 58.5 | 49.7 | 119.3 | 542.5 | 10.9 | 11 |

Notes
Mean MPG – miles per gallon – from manufacturers’ information, weighted by annual sales to businesses (Fleet Audits average, 2013 to 2015).
Applied MPG – adjusted downwards by 15% to take account of real driving conditions and lower fuel economy for older cars.
For LPG, MPG is assumed to be 20% lower than for petrol due to lower volumetric energy density.
Figures are shown to one decimal place. For the final AFR figures are rounded to the nearest whole penny.
