Not income, profit! For tax purposes you grow the company, and keep profit down until you reach your goals. Look at revenue and assets. Learn the ropes before you enter the ring! I know business: this is golden!
In the company I work for new trucks are purchased (in the Netherlands). A truck comes to us with 1M km (1 mile = 1.6 kilometer). The average truck drive about 170K km a year and thus has a lifespan of six years now after such a truck gets a second life in a low-wage country. Since the price of diesel at a record low state and the price at the pump in the US is considerably lower than in the Netherlands, I account conveniently with an unfavorable 24-month payback period. That means that you have a period of four years, 15% cost savings to the diesel pump * 157 trucks. Unmodified a truck drives six miles per gallon.
157 trucks * 4 years (= 4 * 170 000 km (1 / 1.6 = 106250 miles) = 66,725,000 / 6 (= 6 mpg) / 100 * 15 (= 15% fuel reduction) = 1,668,125 gallons saved for the entire fleet for a period of 4 years. * $ 2.445 a gallon = $ 4,078,565. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_nus_w.htm
That's excluding the longer lifespan of the engines and the fact that a country as Saudi Arabia can not continue selling its oil at these extremely low levels. So oil prices will certainly recover.
The net result could quadruple (compared to 2014 results). IMO
