All 6 Documented Cases
Excess Fuel Cost from Unoptimized Procurement and Inventory Practices
$50,000–$500,000 per year for public transportation fleets, corresponding to roughly 3–10% avoidable overspend on large fuel budgets when not using competitive/cooperative procurement and demand‑based ordering[4][1][5]Transportation programs routinely overpay for fuel because they do not aggregate volume, lack competitive procurement, or fail to time purchases and inventory levels to market conditions. Best‑practice guides estimate that strategic fuel procurement and cooperative purchasing can reduce costs several percent, implying that the same amount is currently being lost by agencies that do not follow these practices.
Data Breaches Exposing Driver's License Data in Transportation-Related Systems
$4 million average per breach; $158-$221 per recordUnsecured databases in automotive and insurance sectors leak millions of driver's license numbers alongside other PII, enabling identity theft and fraud. Systemic failures in third-party vendor security and data protection expose data collected for licensing verification over extended periods. Average breach costs $4 million per incident, with higher in regulated sectors.
Systematic Fuel Theft and Pilferage in Fleet Operations
$18,000–$60,000+ per year per mid‑size fleet (50–150 vehicles), based on 2–5% of annual fuel spend lost to theft and shrinkageIn transportation fleets, fuel is routinely siphoned from bulk tanks or vehicles, or falsely claimed through manipulated fuel card transactions. This creates a recurring, hidden loss in fuel procurement and inventory that is often only detected after forensic audits or when data analytics flag anomalies.
Suboptimal Fuel Contracting and Supplier Selection
$25,000–$250,000 per year in avoidable cost for mid‑ to large‑size programs from misaligned pricing structures, volume penalties, and disruption‑related costs[3][4]Poorly structured fuel contracts and inadequate supplier evaluation lead transportation programs to lock into unfavorable pricing formulas, miss more economical alternatives (e.g., cooperatives or indexed pricing), and incur penalties or disruption costs. Procurement advisors consistently flag fuel contracting missteps as a major driver of excess total cost of ownership in transportation fuel sourcing.
