With the cost of fuel at a premium, and forecasters projecting this summer’s fuel costs to reach record highs, everyone is looking for ways to decrease their fuel consumption. Contractors who are already closely watching their overhead are continuously researching methods for cost reduction on their jobs. And, we talk and talk about efficiency, but are we really demonstrating efficiency techniques? Sure, but only if it doesn’t affect our comfort, convenience and quality, right? And, what about change? No one really likes change. We continue to do things the way we always have, and use the products we’ve always used, because change can be…well, scary. In many cases the theory to leave well enough alone is inarguable. But, what if that change, that risk in trying something new, would absolutely save you money – lots of money – and increase your comfort, convenience and quality? And, what if you learned about machines that would provide all that, AND use about 40% less fuel? Well, maybe you’ll complain that the price of fuel is still too high, but at least you won’t have to purchase as much of it. Share your thoughts on this subject as well as other ideas to minimize fuel cost pains. Post your comments and questions.
