On the last row of Table 4-10 is the calculation for having a single truck service every household in Eagan. The relational factor of fuel efficiency is 30,651 divided by 14,123, or 2.16. This means it takes 216% more fuel to service all of the households by several vehicles than would be necessary for a single vehicle to service all of the households. The difference over one year is calculated to be a savings of 16,528 gallons of fuel. This is lower than calculated from field observations because one hauler was reported to have a more significant market share (62.5%) than was observed in the actual Eagan field observations. Duluth In the city of Duluth, the average actual distance per household in Table 4-11 shows a distance of 112 feet. Comparing that to the field trial fuel consumption graph in Figure 4-5 below, it shows a fuel consumption rate per household of 1.9 ounces, if serving households at the actual distances. Table 4-11 provides the data from the field observations in Duluth. In comparing the averaged observed distances in Table 4-11 for Duluth, 275 feet, the corresponding consumption is 4.3 ounces per household, at averaged observed distances. By dividing the actual consumption of 4.3 ounces by the ideal consumption of 1.9 shows a consumption factor of 2.26. This consumption factor demonstrates that 226% more fuel was consumed by servicing only the observed households in Duluth than what would have been consumed if every household were serviced by that vehicle.
