REPORT BY THE U, S,


General Accounting Office


Replacing Government Sedans

Yearly Would Result

In Fuel And Cost Savings


    Commercial rental companies are ahead of the
    Government in recognizing and taking advan-
    tage of the economics of a 1-year replacement
    cycle for rental sedans. To GAO's knowledge,
-,e     eneral Services Administration is the
    only arge organization that replaces its ren
    'fleet on a 6-year cycle.

    By adhering to this replacement standard,
    General Services

        --incurs unnecessary maintenance costs,

        --does not take advantage of optimal re-
        sale value,

        --is not providing the most cost-efficient
        vehicle service, and


    --is not taking full advantage of opportu-
    nities to conserve fuel.

By converting to a 1-year replacement cycle,
General Services could save about $9.1 mil-
lion a year on lower maintenance costs and
higher resale values. In addition, about 4.7
million gallons of gasoline a year--worth about
$3.6 million--could be saved.
