A Comparison of the Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel Methodologies Employed Across the Department of Defense

Abstract

This thesis describes the various Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel (FBCF) methodologies under development across the Department of Defense. A comparison of the Air Force FBCF Calculator and the OSD (AT&L) FBCF Calculator is performed and identifies the similarities and differences between the methodologies to include an analysis of the output of each calculator. Our analysis indicates that while the methodologies used to calculate the FBCF vary among the Services, the underlying principles that those calculations are based upon are common. The FBCF Methodologies can produce similar results. Recommendations for follow-on studies are provided.
