The graphs show the trend for an increase in vehicle usage over summer as would be expected.
This indicator is a measure of the amount of fuel used in vehicles at the stations. Each station has a number of vehicles and items of plant and equipment that are used to support both station operations (in the case of some items of plant and equipment) and operations or support activities in the field away from the stations.
The quantity of fuel used provides an indication of the level of activity away from the station, and to a lesser extent, an indication of the station population.
