Fleet fuel cost risk — diesel, jet, distillates

When the EIA prints a new on-highway diesel number, your surcharge formula is already lagging the road. ElementWatch tracks the EIA weekly retail series, distillate cracks, and refinery utilization and tells you the operator action — not just the price.

What we track

  • EIA weekly on-highway diesel (US national avg)
  • Jet-A retail (AirNav Western-Pacific)
  • Heating oil / distillates spot
  • Propane Mont Belvieu
  • ULSD crack spreads and refinery utilization

Who this is for

Trucking fleets, regional carriers, 3PLs, last-mile, field-services, distributor and retailer fleets, and procurement teams setting fuel surcharges.

Decisions ElementWatch supports

  • Repricing fuel surcharge formulas this month
  • Locking a forward fuel-purchase contract vs holding spot
  • Triggering escalator clauses in customer contracts
