Straight Talk.
Who Shouldn’t Use Fuel Logic?
Most fuel companies pretend they’re perfect for everyone. We won’t. Fuel Logic is built for a specific kind of customer — and if that’s not you, we’d rather you knew right now. In the video below, founder Eliot Vancil walks through exactly who we’re a great fit for, and who’s honestly better off somewhere else.
Why can’t Your Fueling company Give you A Straight Answer On Cost?
Are you tired of getting the run-around on pricing with your diesel delivery?
It is like pulling teeth to get your fuel delivery quote. And even after you get one, it feels shaky and unreliable at best. Why is your cost per gallon all over the place? Why is it more than the gas station? What in the world is that “delivery fee” about? Why are there exactly zero prices to be found on any fuel delivery website? How are you supposed to keep your trucks on the road if you can’t get any answers to these basic pricing questions first?
Imagine Total Clarity On Your Fuel Delivery Costs.
Picture this. You know exactly what your fuel cost is for this week’s fuel delivery. You know exactly what your delivery fee is covering and how much you are saving in time-theft, accidents and misfuelings by using a fuel delivery company instead of having your guys fuel willy-nilly at the gas station. Every truck is clean, topped off with diesel (and DEF), and ready to roll every day — before your drivers even show up. No more misfuelling. No more emergency repairs. No more downtime. Your team hits the road on time – every time.
- Total clarity on fuel costs day to day
- Saving thousands with fuel delivery over gas station
- Time and money back in your hands
- Road-ready trucks every morning
- Diesel fuel topped off On your schedule
- No engine issues from misfuelling

The Short Answer on Mobile Fuel Delivery Pricing
“Mobile fuel delivery typically costs $0.10-$0.50 per gallon above the pump, plus delivery fees ranging from $75-$175 depending on your situation.”
Mobile fuel delivery typically costs the wholesale rack price of fuel plus a delivery fee — usually between $75 and $175 depending on your location, volume, and type of delivery. On a per-gallon basis, most scheduled customers see an all-in price $0.10 to $0.50 above what you’d pay at a truck stop, with smaller or one-time deliveries running higher.
That range is honest. And the reason it’s a range — not a fixed number — is the same reason no other fuel company publishes pricing either. The variables are real.
Below, we’ll explain exactly what drives your price up or down, give you a tool to estimate your specific situation, and show you how to get the most competitive rate we can offer.
Below, we’ll explain exactly what affects YOUR price and help you estimate your cost.
What Affects Your Price?
Four things move your price more than anything else. Understand these and you’ll know instantly whether you’re getting a competitive quote.
How Many Gallons?
The single biggest driver. A $150 delivery fee spread across 1,500 gallons looks very different than the same fee on 150 gallons. More gallons = lower effective cost per gallon.
Your Location & Site
Drive time, site access, and security checkpoints all cost time. A metroplex delivery in 30 minutes is priced very differently from a rural site with an hour wait at the gate.
Scheduled
vs. One-Time
Scheduled deliveries let us build a route, reduce drive time, and keep service dollars low. One-time and emergency deliveries require a dedicated run — that’s reflected in the price.
Delivery Fee
vs. In-Gallon
Some companies hide their margin in the per-gallon price. We prefer a transparent delivery fee so you always know exactly what you’re paying for the fuel vs. the service.
“Our effective rate to operate these trucks is pretty standard — typical to what you’d expect operating your own fleet. It’s really just time.”

Mobile Delivery Isn’t Always the Right Call — We’ll Tell You When
Eliot puts it plainly: if you think we’re going to deliver fuel to your job site at the same price as the gas station down the street, that’s not a reality — and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone.
“If you’re going into this thinking we can bring you fuel one time in an emergency and match the price at the gas station, I’ll save us both the headache — it’s probably not a good fit for you.”
— Eliot Vancil, Founder, Fuel Logic
When Mobile Delivery Probably Doesn’t Make Sense
- You only need 50 gallons once and you’re a quarter mile from a diesel pump
- You have salaried drivers with no time cost to send them fueling
- You have zero concern about fuel slippage or card management
- You’re a 1-truck operation with a simple, consistent route
When It Almost Always Makes Sense
- You have multiple vehicles or pieces of equipment sitting idle while drivers fuel
- You’re managing fuel across multiple job sites or locations
- You’ve had a theft or slippage problem you couldn’t fully explain
- You just need fuel fast and can’t have a site go down
- You want one throat to choke — one company accountable for everything
Not sure which side you’re on? Call us — we’ll tell you honestly if we’re the right fit.
