Refueled: Moving from Reactive to Proactive Fuel Management with Michael Brennan [AwDvkFe43x7]
Reactive fuel management is expensive in ways that rarely show up on a single line item. Staff time chasing exceptions. Late explanations to finance. Missed opportunities to correct issues before dollars are spent. Too often, fuel only gets attention after a budget spike, repeated misuse, an audit question, or a call from leadership. By then, you’re explaining the past instead of managing the present. Michael Brennan has spent a career seeing this pattern play out across public fleets. His point is simple: proactive fuel management isn’t about more reports. It’s about visibility early enough to act, justify decisions, and avoid surprises. This is the shift many public fleets are navigating right now. Worth hearing directly from Michael in this clip.
