MUST READ IFUE LONGS......
The following is simple mathematical exercise to put the "Value Proposition" embedded in DieselIFT in perspective....
Burlington Northern - Santa FE, the nation's 2nd largest railroad after Union Pacific, presented their results for the 4th quarter of 2005 earlier this week. After listening to the call, here's what we should take away from it:
BNSF spent almost exactly $2 Billion on diesel fuel in 2005.
--hypothetically--
If BNSF had additized that $2 billion worth of fuel, assuming a 5% increase in fuel economy, dieselIFT would throw off a savings of $100 million in 2005.
Want more granularity? OK....
That's a savings of $1.9 million per week or $274,000 per day!
