diesel buying power

[RDHamill]

Is anyone aware of any coop type buying groups for diesel fuel?



Many of us have small businesses, and use quite a bit of fuel, but individually we don't use enough to get the pricing from suppliers that a large trucking company gets.



It would be nice if we could combine our fuel buying power and be in a position to negotiate a better price.



any constructive thoughts?



thanks

i'd like something like that too. .

my work place gets a great deal on diesel fuel. . on a really busy day [24 hours] we will pump about 800,000 liters of diesel fuel into the locomotives [±28 units per 8 hour, average 10,000 liters per unit]. . i think they are paying somewhere around $0. 40/liter for fuel right now. . the transport trucks with 2 fuel trailers come every 30min or so to top up the 4,500,000 liter fuel tank. .

if you use your CC enough, try that canadian tire mastercard... if you spend enough on it, you get a $0. 10 discount on fuel from canadian tire [gas and diesel] my pop gets that discount now every month. . i don't have that card as i don't spend much monthly [saving for house now]
