This article presents the results of studies related to the valuation of consumption of different motor fuels, taking into account the constructive features, modes and conditions of operation of motor vehicles. The analysis of the classification of fuel
consumption rates, the peculiarities of rationing fuel consumption in road transport in modern conditions, identifies the fundamental approaches to rationing fuel consumption of motor vehicles. When performing scientific and practical work on the
regulation of fuel consumption for mining dump trucks, the total mileage along the route, the number of ascents and descents, speed limits, and workload were taken into account. A formula has been developed for calculating the rate of fuel consumption of
dump trucks. It is concluded that the rates of fuel (energy) consumption are intended for calculating the normalized values of their costs, maintaining statistical and operational reporting, establishing the cost of work performed, it is necessary not only
to establish scientifically based rates of fuel consumption ( energy), but also to carry out the frequency of their establishment.
