Fueling Strategy: March 08 “Keep Your Tanks Topped”
Mar 8th, 2022 by loren
Fueling Strategy: Please continue keeping your tanks topped today, tonight before 23:00 CST refuel, Wednesday prices will increase another 15 cents, Currently we’re projecting Thursday’s increase could be over 50 cents based on an announcement that the US will stop all imports of Russian oil. As we see a more detailed plan for refilling these import barrels things should begin to settle down. As long as we see Putin’s troops march across Ukraine with no resistance commodities will remain very volatile. Talk with no action appears to benefit Russian.
We highly recommend the following:
* Shop the street prices against the wholesale discount locations.
*Meaning Check your discount prices, then compare to the smaller independent stops
close to the large chains (Historically, small locations take longer to change their
posted prices)
* With quick changing prices ALWAYS question prices that are, for example, $.50 cents lower – The ole say, “if it’s too good to be true it’s probably not an accurate price”
* When possible, Try to conserve fuel by lowering your speed, more speed adds more resistance meaning lower MPG’S & THE zero gained idling – shut the truck off as much as you can to conserve your rolling inventories.
* Use the Fuelbook App alot – the wholesale prices are changing rapidly so refresh the app (drag down the page to refresh) each time you use it to get the real time prices.
Regarding new Fuelbook App – You MUST allow the App to know your actual location – if you’ve block this or if it’s NOT turned on while your using the App you CANNOT get the discount prices. Two ways to manage this: 1) Always on, or 2) Only while your using the App.
Have a Great Day,
