Italian to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / part of contract relating to price of fuel
Italian term or phrase: Indice di scostamento Fuel
This heading appears in a contract for logistics services involving road transport. The following entry appears after the above "Incidenza sui corrispettivi dell’indice di scostamento:" but I am having difficulty finding the correct translation for the "indice di scostamento". Can anyone help please?

English translation:Changes in fuel costs
Explanation:
"Indice di scostamento" is just a way of saying deviation (it also means "standard deviation"-) It doesn't refer to some sort of published index. Here it sounds like a question of the impact of changes in fuel costs on prices/payments.

impact on the variance index, fuel consumption


Explanation:
as so often with these abstract verbal fur balls, one has to step back and understand the underlying reality. It is probably even more simple : impact on fuel consumption, but that would violate the prohibition against clarity through simplicity, i.e. against parole povere.

agree  philgoddard: Yes, "indice" means "formula" here, but you can leave it out because it's obvious.

neutral  tradu-grace: Hi Anthony, don't you think there's a slight difference between "changes" and "deviation" or "varience"? Thanks a lot for your reply. Have a nice day. Grace
