The Advisory Fuel and Electric Rates are only for use by company car drivers for claiming business mileage. Alternatively, where all fuel is provided by the business, the AFRs can be used to reimburse private mileage to avoid expensive Fuel Tax.
For hybrid cars, drivers should use the appropriate petrol or diesel rate.
