Three contract types,
three risk profiles.
Pick the structure that matches how your finance team budgets fuel — daily-rate market pricing, formula-indexed contracts, or fixed-rate forwards. Whichever you choose, the math is on the table.
Pick the program
that fits your operation.
Most multi-site operators run formula-indexed contracts — predictable margin, market-floating base. Single-site retailers tend toward market or fixed depending on volatility tolerance.
Market Pricing
Charged at the daily wholesale market rate plus delivered margin and applicable taxes. Best for low-volume or seasonal accounts that want flexibility.
- Pay current market rates
- No long-term commitment
- Benefit fully when prices drop
- No volume minimum
Formula Pricing
Locked formula tied to a published reference index (OPIS daily) plus negotiated markup. Predictable margin, market-floating base — most popular for multi-site operators.
- Transparent, formula-based pricing
- Predictable markup, market-floating base
- Track costs against published OPIS index
- Volume commitment, 6 or 12 months
- Net-15 or Net-30 payment terms
Fixed Forward
Lock a flat per-gallon rate for the contract term. Total budget certainty for the period — no upside, no downside, no surprises.
- Lock in a flat price per gallon
- Term lengths 3, 6, or 12 months
- Full hedge — no market exposure
- Credit approval required
- Volume tiers from 10,000 gal

What sets us apart from the regional and national distributors competing for the same accounts: family-owned, no hidden fees, transparent contracts, and a dispatch desk that picks up the phone.
