Fuel Analytics 101: Turning Fleet Data Into Cost Savings
Fuel is one of the largest operating expenses a fleet carries, according to Verizon Connect, and it is also one of the easiest to waste. Your trucks produce a constant stream of numbers: engine hours, fuel burn, idle time, routes, purchases. Without analysis, that stream is noise. With it, you can see which truck is…

Fleet Electrification vs. Diesel Efficiency: Where Fuel Logic Fits
Fleet electrification works best for predictable routes with reliable charging, while diesel remains practical for heavy loads, long distances, and remote operations. Many fleets use both. Fuel Logic supports the liquid-fuel side by delivering on-road diesel, off-road diesel, gasoline, and DEF, but does not provide EV charging. The honest answer to fleet electrification vs. diesel…

Why Are Gas Prices Rising in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania’s average gas price is $3.290 per gallon, exceeding the national average of $3.145 due to higher crude oil costs, regional supply disruptions, and seasonal demand. Other factors include combined state and federal taxes of about 58 cents per gallon, limited refinery access, and increased transportation costs. On May 10, 2025, the average Pennsylvania gas…

Why Is Diesel More Expensive Than Gas?
Diesel costs more than gasoline due to higher federal and state taxes, its complex refining processes to meet environmental regulations, and lower production rates coupled with high industrial demand. This demand from industries like trucking, agriculture, and shipping, combined with seasonal factors, also contributes to increased prices. It is understandable why many interpret diesel to…
