As fuel prices surge and we transition into our next busy season, finding ways to stretch every dollar and every gallon has never been more important. This brings us back to a question recently raised by a few of our own employees: Does strictly following the speed limit actually result in noticeable fuel savings? While it is easy to follow the "pace of traffic," the physics of fuel consumption tell a much more expensive story. Here is a look at the data behind aerodynamics,

If you’ve ever driven past a refinery, you know it can look like a confusing "pipeline city." Between the maze of steel, the constant steam, and the trucks moving in and out, it’s hard to tell what’s actually happening inside. While the science is incredibly deep, the concept is actually quite simple. A refinery is basically a giant kitchen that takes one raw ingredient— crude oil —and "cooks" it into the different products we use every day. Here is the simple, four-step jour

We’ve all been there: standing at the pump, staring at the different buttons, and wondering if that extra $0.40 per gallon for the "Super" or "Premium" grade is actually doing anything for your engine. Will the expensive stuff double your mileage? Will the cheap stuff leave you stranded on a backroad? If you’ve ever felt a bit of "pump paralysis," don't worry—you aren't alone.

For nearly three decades, diesel followed a rhythm as predictable as the seasons themselves. But if you feel like the "old rules" don't apply anymore, you’re right. We recently took a deep dive into 29 years of diesel market data to see if we could pinpoint consistent market trends. By averaging the hub price for each month over three decades, the data reveals a fascinating story of how our energy landscape has shifted. The Death of "Business as Usual" Historically, diesel pr

Winter is officially here, bringing with it the freezing temperatures some of us dread and some of us love. If you've ever wondered whether your car will start in the cold or whether your diesel might freeze, stick around to learn more. First, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Like many things, the answer depends on a few variables: · Does the diesel have additives? · Is it biodiesel or straight diesel? · Is it blended? · Is the vehicle stor
