CIPS Exam L3M5 Topic 4 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L3M5 exam
Question #: 19
Topic #: 4
[All L3M5 Questions]

Approximately what percentage of costs, of running heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), is accounted for by fuel costs?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is roughly one-third, or 33%.

This means that fuel costs are very important to road haulage firms, and alternative means of either transportation or power for trucks would be desirable, both to reduce costs and to aid the environ-ment.

Using your learning and your experience, what do you think the other main costs are of running a heavy goods vehicle fleet? I'll leave you to come up with some of the key areas yourself.

7%? What is this, a joke? I'd need to be living in a parallel universe to believe that. Gotta be C, 51%.

Definitely not 7%, that's way too low. C, 51% seems more reasonable.

I can't imagine it being only 7%. C, 51% sounds more accurate.

Yeah, 7% doesn't sound right at all. C seems more realistic.

Ah, the age-old question of HGV fuel costs. I'm going with C - 51%. Though, if I had a magic wand, I'd make it 0% and let the trucks run on fairy dust or something.

20%? Nah, no way. I bet it's closer to 33% - sounds about right for the hefty fuel bills these rigs rack up.

Yeah, 33% sounds about right for the amount of fuel these vehicles use.

Hmm, I'd say it's 51% - those trucks guzzle fuel like crazy! Though, maybe that's just my imagination running wild... or is it?

I would go with 33%, I think fuel costs are a significant but not the majority of the expenses.

I think it's 51% too, those trucks are not very fuel-efficient.
