Which Fuel Program May Fit You?
Answer a few quick questions to see which fuel programs may be worth comparing based on your operation and priorities.
1. How many trucks are in your operation?
2. What matters most to you in a fuel program?
3. What type of setup do you prefer?
4. Are you currently an OOIDA member?
5. Are you mainly looking for fuel savings or broader business benefits?
Programs to Compare First
Based on your answers, these programs have features that may align with your priorities.
This tool does not determine which fuel program is best for you. Actual savings and costs can depend on where you fuel, your routes, program terms, fees, eligibility, and current fuel prices. Compare the programs and verify current terms with the provider before applying.
Understanding Fuel Card Savings
Fuel card savings can be advertised in different ways. Some programs show average savings, others advertise savings “up to” a certain amount, and some use cost-plus pricing. The actual price you pay can depend on the fuel location, network, program, and current fuel price.
Before choosing a program, consider where you normally fuel, the locations that qualify for discounts, program fees, and whether the savings available on your regular routes outweigh those costs.
