³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø OFFERS MEMBERS A NEW FUEL SAVINGS PROGRAM WITH BP

Washington, D.C. - The Associated General Contractors of America (³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø), 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 ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø 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 ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø'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, ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø members will save one and a half cents/gallon on fuel purchased at any gas station when using the BP Business Solutions MasterCard.

³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø has long provided discounts to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø members through recognized vendors as part of its members-only Affinity Program. There are currently 12 ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø partners that offer discounts to members ranging from vehicle rentals, package delivery, mobile office products and fuel and fleet management.
