Washington, D.C. - The Associated General Contractors of America (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ), 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 Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ 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 Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ'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, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ members will save one and a half cents/gallon on fuel purchased at any gas station when using the BP Business Solutions MasterCard.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ has long provided discounts to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ members through recognized vendors as part of its members-only Affinity Program. There are currently 12 Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ partners that offer discounts to members ranging from vehicle rentals, package delivery, mobile office products and fuel and fleet management.
