ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø OFFERS MEMBERS A NEW FUEL SAVINGS PROGRAM WITH BP

Washington, D.C. - The Associated General Contractors of America (ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø), the nation's largest commercial construction trade association, today announced a new agreement with BP that will offer its members significant savings on fuel purchases. The tiered rebate program offers ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø members a rebate of up to six cents per gallon for fuel purchased at BP locations nationwide.

"In today's volatile marketplace, this discount offers a great value to our members," said ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's chief executive officer, Stephen E. Sandherr. "A fleet operator with 20 vehicles might purchase more than 30,000 gallons of fuel per year. At six cents a gallon, that's a savings of more than $1,800 annually."

Tiered rebates begin at just one and a half cents/gallon for up to 499 gallons and six cents/gallon for 10,000+ gallons on fuel purchased at any of the more than 11,000 BP service stations nationwide. In addition, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø members will save one and a half cents/gallon on fuel purchased at any gas station when using the BP Business Solutions MasterCard.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø has long provided discounts to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø members through recognized vendors as part of its members-only Affinity Program. There are currently 12 ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø partners that offer discounts to members ranging from vehicle rentals, package delivery, mobile office products and fuel and fleet management.
