1401cc to 2000cc	14 pence	9 pence
Over 2000cc	21 pence	14 pence

Engine size	Diesel – amount per mile
1600cc or less	9 pence
1601cc to 2000cc	11 pence
Over 2000cc	13 pence

Hybrid cars are treated as either petrol or diesel cars for this purpose.

 

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

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.
