| Pricing Option | Questions to Consider |
|---|---|
| • Fixed Price: Your price will remain fixed for the gallons you contract for until May 31, 2013, or until those gallons are consumed. | • Is your business risk adverse? • Does your business require a predictable fuel price for budgeting and peace of mind? • Do the benefits of predictability outweigh the concerns of prices falling? |
| • Fixed Price Partial Usage: Your price will remain fixed for a portion of your annual usage, until May 31, 2013, or until those gallons are consumed. | • Do you want the security of a fixed price with the opportunity to benefit if fuel prices go down? • Do you feel there is a strong possibility that prices will go down, but still require the security of locking in a portion of your business’ consumption? • Are you comfortable with the risk of prices going higher after the contracted gallons have been consumed? • Do you like greater flexibility? |
| • Variable Price: The price you pay is the current market price at the time of delivery. | • Does your company have a high degree of risk tolerance? • Is fuel price predictability not a major need for your business? • Do you want the flexibility of not being committed to a contracted price? |
