Why
the OPIS Benchmark Remains the Industry’s Gold Standard
Nearly 100 billion gallons of fuel are pegged to OPIS rack
and spot prices annually
OPIS is the most widely accepted fuel price
benchmark for supply contracts and competitive positioning. Nearly
100 billion gallons of fuel are pegged annually to OPIS rack,
retail and spot prices for U.S. gasoline, diesel, LP-gas, jet
fuel, crude, propane, feedstocks, resid, kerosene, ethanol and biodiesel.
OPIS is relied on as the benchmark because OPIS
remains completely unbiased and independent. OPIS has no stake
in fuel transactions, is not funded by oil industry initiatives,
and strictly adheres to antitrust guidelines determined by independent
legal counsel.
The OPIS Benchmark is Relied on By:
• Every major and independent oil company.
• Jobbers, dealers, c-stores and retail service
stations.
• Nearly every major metropolitan transit authority,
school, utility, and railroad system.
• Most commercial airlines, truckstops and fleets.
• U.S. federal, state, municipal and county
government.
• The DESC for a vast majority of fuel used
for U.S. military operations.
