And if you have enough of a problem with this, I’m sure the company wouldn’t give that much of a frick to just give you a major vehicle allowance if you didn’t want them knowing this. They’d find it odd, sure, but I think a lot of companies would work around this since it’d probably save them money. The company vehicle is largely a courtesy telling the employee that they’re investing in you and putting their money where their mouth is rather than just giving you gas money back.

Not necessarily true. Depends on what you do for a living. I work in industrial sales, and I have to have a company vehicle to enter many customer sites, for insurance reasons.

Also I think you are way overestimating the extent to which HR/fleet departments are willing to “work with” employees.
