As a family-owned energy company with a history spanning nearly a century, we aim to support and educate our community about the reasonings behind diesel pricing. At Shipley Energy, we serve customers in various industries that power, build, and fuel the Mid-Atlantic. We understand the importance of having a reliable fuel supplier to ensure your operations run smoothly and efficiently. In this blog, we will learn what drives the price of diesel, why it can change so frequently, and how we can help.
Before we explore the why of diesel pricing fluctuations, let’s explain what diesel fuel is. Diesel fuel is a liquid fuel that is used in diesel engines. Most commercial energy operations require the use of diesel fuel. The most common fuel types include ultra-low-sulfur diesel, off-road diesel, gasoline, and #2 heating oil. Shipley Energy provides on-site fuel service for these fuel types, focused on convenience, reliability, and excellent service.
Diesel pricing varies with the seasons. According to EIA.gov, heating oil and diesel fuel are produced at the same time. This can cause seasonal increases in heating oil demand and pressure the diesel fuel market. During colder months, there is an increased demand for heating oil, closely related to diesel fuel. Similarly, during the summer, the need for diesel rises due to outdoor activities. These seasonal fluctuations can result in price changes as suppliers adjust to meet demand. Shipley Energy understands how difficult it can be not to have control over what you pay for diesel fuel prices. That’s why we offer price optimization to locate the best deal for your operation.
Getting the best offer on diesel fuel in uncertain times is priceless. With Shipley Energy’s price optimization option, we will research the best prices for you to get the best option available. If we see the market go down and you are not going to run out of fuel, we’ll push your delivery back a day so that you can capture the better price.
