Fuel & Risk Management Analytical Tools
Comparative Analysis
Compare any 2 locations and price components over a 120-day timeframe.
Through a front-end wizard, users can select 2 criteria to compare,
pricing for those criteria, and a date range. (For example, compare
the retail price between 2 truckstops over the last 45 days.) Once
displayed, you can graph the data for trend analysis.
Export Data To Spreadsheets & Databases
For more sophisticated users who want to maintain their own historical
files of diesel market events, perform additional offline analysis,
chart, graph or recalculate data, there is an Export feature. Use
it to download fuel price information into your own spreadsheet
and database programs.
Perform Basis Opportunity Study
The variance between rack (wholesale) and futures prices of the
same commodity can also be studied on the cash (spot) vs. futures
market level. This variance will also show time, quality and location
differences on intermediary markets against futures economics.
Analysts can use the difference between two figures (rack vs.NYMEX,
for distillate or gasoline product) as the basis value and compare
that value to the zero (or buy/sell) line. That helps determine
buy or sell market opportunities against current or historical price
levels.
View NYMEX, Rack, Spot, And Retail Pricing
Analyze all levels of the petroleum price market to better position
yourself for buy/sell opportunities. We can provide NYMEX, spot,
rack and retail price information for diesel and gasoline so you
can perform price analyses and make higher quality risk management
and trade decisions.

state averages, etc.)
- National, major chain and PADD 7-30-90 day average report for
all price components
- Petroleum Price Index with commodity quotes, rack and retail
prices and historical references

Review Historical Data
e-Stop maintains daily information on fuel pricing for an unlimited
time period. You can review historical data for 7-30-90 day averages
and create historical comparisons that tell you what has happened
and is happening with fuel prices in multiple locations. You can
view the last 30 days of retail price by individual location. This
information can be downloaded/exported into most spreadsheet applications.
You can also submit custom historical price requests for all components
of the diesel price, including wholesale rack pricing, as far back
as 1996.
Obtain Custom Data
Some of our largest customers receive a custom download of data—information
they select, sliced and diced in a million ways-to better position
themselves in the market and give their customers a perspective
of market buy/sell opportunities. These companies examine the data
using their own formulas to trade in the futures market.
