How The Fuel Surcharge Works
Lee County Port Authority
FS = (MVIR – 2.33) / FAMPG * AVZRT where
FS = is the Fuel Surcharge to be determined;
MVIR = is the mid-point value of the price of fuel based on thirty (30) cent increments starting at $3.00;
2.33 = the baseline price of fuel at the time of initiation of the demand taxicab concessionaire’s contract;
FAMPG = the miles per gallon as a constant based on the demand taxicab’s fleet composition. As of January 2008, this constant was 15 miles per gallon;
AVZRT = the average round trip miles for each zone.
