lorry fitted with petrol engine and how does this vary according to differing mileages?
A As shown in the current edition of
COMMERCIAL MOTOR Tables of Operating Costs, the total operating cost per mile at 600 miles per week is 18.01d. but at 400 miles per week the corresponding figure would be increased to 21.91d., or decreased to 16.16d. per mile when averaging 800 miles per week.
The reason for these variations is that whereas the standing cost per week remains the same the standing cost per mile decreases as the average mileage increases. When these figures are added to the running cost per mile the variations in the resulting total operating costs per mile are correspondingly reflected, though not directly to the same degree,
