1. Diesel fuel increases at variable (user inputted) rate.

2. DEF cost expected to drop then follow inflation over next 5 years, thus a flat rate used for calculation. Most fleets purchasing totes at approx. $1.80 / gal., at pump is $2.799 (Pilot 1/21/2011). 2.5 gallon jugs are exception.

Calculator defaults to current rates and 8% improvement in fuel efficiency.
