Why do we use published gasoline prices?

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

A lot of people often ask us “Why does GasLimit reimburse based on published, or index gasoline prices? Can’t you use my actual purchases at the gas stations to determine if prices exceeded the cap???”

To answer this question, we thought we would kill 2 birds with 1 stone and answer another question often asked - that being, “How can I find gas station prices in my area?”

The first question is answered by showing what type of difference in gasoline prices one can witness with gas stations in the same zipcode - I would like to point the reader to the following tool on msn -
here you can see the discrepency in gas station prices that exist within an area code. It is because there is such a wide range of gasoline prices you might be subject to that GasLimit needs to select a published price point to determine if gasoline prices are above your cap.

Click the same link above - and you will find gas station prices in your area - we thought it was a pretty nifty tool as well.

City and State Gasoline Price Points

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

GasLimit is pleased to announce - most city and state cap prices will be up on the site and available for transacting on within the next 24 hours. What that means is, as a user filling up in a particular city or state you can now protect yourself from prices in a more granular survey price which better represents the prices you are experiencing at the gas stations. Remember, the published prices are based on a survey of gas stations within the region described. GasLimit reimburses the difference in prices when the published price is posted above your cap with us at your contracted location. feel free to contact us if you have any questions on how the product or website works, we are happy to help you.

Another Article on gasoline prices

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Yet another article on rising gasoline prices and their impact to the average consumer. There is a direct correlation between rising gasoline prices and consumer spending and people are reacting to that dilemma by thinking about buying smaller vehicles. The consumer is clearly concerned, especially due to the fine line we are walking between the limited supply and scary geopolitical picture.

Diesel Vs. Gasoline

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Some people ask us what the difference is between Diesel Fuel and Gasoline and why the Cap offers are different for the 2 fuels. A short answer on the differences is 2 fold -

1. how they are made
2. the types of engines they are used in.

From a price perspective - Diesel Fuel is priced similar to heating oil because the refining process is nearly identical, thereby making the supply/demand curves react in tandem. That being said, when we quote customers for Cap rates on Diesel or Unleaded the Cap level and up front fees might be very different because we must take these factors into consideration. For more information on Diesel fuel, please check out the Wikipedia definition by clicking here.

Prices are Rising

Monday, May 21st, 2007

So I’m sure we are all familiar with the recent headlines about rising gasoline prices - CNN Money for example and it is a real concern. People could be spending hundreds of dollars more a month just because prices at the pump are rising. What is even scarier is the great unknown as to how high these prices can go and for how long they can do so. Consumers (businesses and people) spend thousands of dollars a year on gasoline, as a percentage of income, thats pretty significant - so now we have GasLimit.
