These rates apply to all journeys on or after 1 March 2011 until further notice, allowing them to reflect fuel prices more quickly. For one month from the date of change, employers may use either the previous or new current rates, as they choose. Employers may therefore make or require supplementary payments if they so wish, but are under no obligation to do either.

Notes:
- Mean mpg - miles per gallon - from manufacturers’ information, weighted by annual sales to businesses (Fleet Audits, 2009).
- Applied mpg - adjusted downwards by 10 per cent to take account of real driving conditions and lower fuel economy for older cars.
- For LPG, mpg is assumed to be 20 per cent lower than for petrol due to lower volumetric energy density.
- Department for Business, Innovation & Skill's latest petrol and diesel prices (22 November 2010), LPG (UK Average) from AA website (November 2010).
