The world is well aware that one of the most essential commodities in today's global economy is fuel. Not only does it literally control the movement of people and goods, but its cost and availability control the world's economy. Even domestically, its usage must be tracked for the purpose of road and usage taxes. It has gone beyond the scope of just knowing where the next gas station is located. To fill this need fleet fuel service is available. These services help companies track the availability of fuel, record its costs and usage, and maintain the necessary records.

These companies provide a variety of services that are needed by both sides of the fuel spectrum. For the sellers of fuel, they provide web hosting to facilitate their ability to service costumers and allow communications between them and their customer base. Through these websites, customers can find out about the location, cost, and availability of fuel and related services, as well as make arrangements for these services to be provided.

For the fuel users, such as airlines, truckers, and ship owners and operators, these services help them locate where and how they can get their equipment fueled and serviced, as well as the cost. It also facilitates payment arrangements so that ship and plane captains, and even truck drivers, can get services remotely, and not have to worry about the payment. By using these services, companies can contract in advance for fuel and services at preset prices. This, plain and simply, allows for better budgeting of fuel and better management of the cost of doing business.
