Blue’s News February 2011

SLIGHT INCREASE IN FUEL SURCHARGE FOR FEBRUARY

Considering the price of regular unleaded fuel in Florida increased in January, Blue Streak’s fuel surcharge will be 8.5% for February. Despite this slight increase, our fuel surcharge continues to be among the lowest in the region.

How it’s calculated: If the average price* of regular, unleaded fuel is above $1.79 during the last week of any given month, the surcharge will be in effect on the first day of the following month.

*as reported for the state of Florida, regular gas, all formulations, on the United States Department of Energy website:
