What to Do In Dangerous Driving Situations

At Fuel Express, we offer fleet fuel cards to drivers of cars, trucks, vans, and more. We know that fleet drivers spend a lot of time on the road, and it’s important to know what to do in dangerous situations. Most of the situations below occur infrequently, but if one of them happens, follow these tips and you should be alright.

Top 25 Green Fleets in the U.S.

Many fleet owners are trying to be more environmentally friendly these days, which means conserving fuel (one of the many benefits of our fuel cards), investing in greener vehicles, and creating shorter delivery routes. Every year, hundreds of fleet owners attend the Green Fleet Conference & Expo in Illinois.

Gasoline vs. Natural Gas

These days, our society is exploring many fuel alternatives including ethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas. The most common form of natural gas is compressed natural gas (or CNG), which is just natural gas that has been under high levels of pressure.

Right-Hand Traffic vs. Left-Hand Traffic

If you’ve ever driven a car in a country where you’re required to drive on the left side of the road, you know it can be pretty nerve-racking. If you’ve ever wondered which major countries drive on the right side of the road and which drive on the left, here’s a list.

Why You Can’t Pump Your Own Gas in New Jersey and Oregon

If you’ve ever driven through New Jersey or Oregon and stopped for gas, you probably noticed that you weren’t able to get out and pump your own. Instead, a fuel station attendant did it for you. Have you ever wondered why these two states are the only ones that don’t let you pump your own gas?

Roundabouts vs. Four-Way Stops

If you’ve ever come across a roundabout and weren’t sure what to do, you’re not alone. Roundabouts (also known as traffic circles) are large circles in the middle of an intersection that are supposed to keep traffic flowing through smoothly. While you can find some roundabouts throughout the U.S., the idea is very prominent in the U.K.

Gas Engines vs. Diesel Engines

Whether you’re a fleet owner or just someone looking for a new car, it may be hard to decide between a diesel car and a regular gasoline car these days. Our fleet fuel card company did some research to find some of the big differences between the two, including costs, lifespan, performance, and impact on the environment.
