Rent the Fuel or Buy the Conversion

How far a fleet operator should trust an announced fuel-subsidy removal

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement models a fleet operator's choice between paying a post-removal fuel premium and converting a vehicle as rent-or-buy with untrusted advice, treating every announced subsidy removal as a claim of permanence whose worth depends on the announcer's record. It shows the best expected bound falls from 2 toward 1 only as that record rises above one in two, and that below it the announcement is worth nothing.
