A system and method of identify fuel savings opportunity in a fleet of vehicles based on a determination of fuel consumption due to modifiable use conditions is described. Modifiable use conditions, such as unauthorized usage, speeding and excessive idling, which represent opportunities for fuel savings are identified and fuel consumption based on the modifiable use conditions is determined. A user-defined statistical metric for the fleet, or a portion of the fleet, can be determined for each of the modifiable use conditions evaluated. Fuel consumption of an individual vehicle, or a group of vehicles, resulting from modifiable use conditions can be compared with a larger group of vehicle, or the fleet, to determine vehicles which correspond to a metric of the fleet. Fleet managers can use this information to modify the use conditions of individual or group of vehicles to provide fuel savings for the fleet.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of identifying fuel savings opportunity in a fleet of vehicles, comprising:identifying a plurality of modifiable use conditions that represent an opportunity for fuel savings;determining fuel consumption attributable to each of a plurality of modifiable use conditions for a plurality of fleet vehicles;determining, for each of the plurality of modifiable use conditions, a user-defined statistical metric relating to the fuel consumption for a plurality of vehicles within the fleet that is attributable to each modifiable use condition; anddetermining which vehicles within a fleet represent a fuel savings opportunity by comparing, for each of the vehicles within the fleet, the fuel consumption attributable to each vehicle for each of the plurality of modifiable use conditions with at least one statistical metric relating to the fuel consumption of a plurality of vehicles within the fleet that is attributable to each modifiable use condition.
