Fuel Industry Challenges

We believe the fuel distribution industry is going through a period of rapid change which will place a substantial burden on individual retail gasoline marketers and on small distributors alike.

The fuel industry promises a challenging future…

Evolving Market Dynamics: Over the next 25 years, gasoline consumption is expected to decline.

U.S. Fuel Economy: Since 2007, the average US fuel economy has increased over 19% and will continue to increase rapidly as the auto industry strives to comply with new CAFE standards.

Technology Requirements: PCI, EMV… the technology required in order to remain competitive is becoming more difficult for smaller companies to implement and afford.

Cash Flow & ROA Impacts: The coming technology and infrastructure upgrades will ultimately put great pressure on working capital demands, reducing return on assets for many companies and making it much harder for some organizations to compete.

The Opportunity
