First, decide how much your target price--the price you always want to pay out of pocket for fuel--is. Let's say your target is $2.

Subtract that from the current national average diesel price. If it's $5 per gallon (God forbid), the difference is $3 per gallon.

Then divide the difference by six because your truck is getting 6MPG on average. Right now you've got a 50 cents/mile fuel surcharge.

And finally multiply that figure by the run length--if the run's 1000 miles, you'll tack on $500 in fuel surcharge to the bill.

If you work for a trucking company, they normally fix the surcharge for a month--for June the rate is always going to be, say, 47 cents per mile no matter how high fuel gets.
