Dear Fuel Buyer,
Volatility is back with a vengeance! Crude oil is now firmly above $100/bb, and there are mounting concerns that the shutdown of Sunoco's Philadelphia refinery in June, along with the implementation of the sanctions against Iran, are going to create widespread supply issues along the East Coast and push prices even higher. As wholesale costs for gasoline and diesel rise along with crude oil, this is sure to wreak havoc on purchasing strategies and fuel budgets.
Properly managing your fuel purchasing is a critical component for preparing your business for the not-so-predictable future, regardless of where you fall on the fuel chain. Not knowing how to effectively buy fuel in today's ever-changing market can cost you thousands of dollars, or even worse, put you out of business. Take control of your future – if there was ever a better time to understand how to buy fuel, it's now!
