Understanding Fleet Fueling Service Cost
Fleet fueling — also called wet hosing or mobile fueling — eliminates fuel station stops by delivering fuel directly to your vehicles at your depot, yard, or parking facility. Pricing is based on fleet size, fuel volume, delivery frequency, and fuel type. For most commercial fleets, the total cost of ownership is lower with mobile fueling than retail stations when you factor in driver time, vehicle wear, mileage detours, and fuel card management overhead. The math works especially well for fleets of 20+ vehicles.
What Does It Cost?
Fleet fueling in Florida typically runs $0.15–$0.35 per gallon above rack rate for diesel and gasoline, depending on fleet size and delivery frequency. A 50-vehicle fleet fueling 5,000 gallons per week might see margins of $0.15–$0.20/gallon, while a 15-vehicle fleet doing 1,500 gallons weekly could see $0.25–$0.35/gallon. DEF is typically priced at $1.50–$3.00 per gallon delivered, depending on volume.

What Affects Your Quote
Fleet Size
Larger fleets (50+ vehicles) earn significantly lower per-gallon margins than smaller fleets. Volume is the primary driver of fleet fueling economics.
Weekly Volume
Total weekly gallons consumed determines pricing tier. Fleets burning 3,000+ gallons weekly typically qualify for the best per-gallon rates.
Fuel Type Mix
Diesel-only fleets are simplest to price. Mixed fleets (diesel + gasoline + DEF) may carry slightly different margins per fuel type but benefit from consolidated delivery.
Delivery Frequency
Daily fueling, every-other-day, or weekly cycles each have different economics. More frequent delivery means lower per-stop volume but higher convenience.
Depot Location
Centrally located fleet yards near major highways cost less to service than remote or difficult-access locations.

Fleet Fueling Service Cost — Common Questions
Is fleet fueling cheaper than gas station fuel cards?
When you factor in total cost of ownership — driver time at stations, mileage detours, vehicle wear, fuel card management, and potential theft/fraud — fleet fueling is almost always cheaper for fleets of 20+ vehicles. The per-gallon rate may look similar, but the hidden costs of retail fueling add $0.50–$1.50 per gallon in lost productivity.
What's the minimum fleet size for wet hosing service?
BettyJet typically serves fleets of 10+ vehicles for wet hosing. Smaller fleets may benefit from depot tank delivery instead. Contact (813) 694-8898 to discuss the best option for your fleet size.

Yes. Every BettyJet fleet fueling delivery includes metered per-vehicle fuel tracking. You receive detailed documentation showing exactly how many gallons went into each vehicle, supporting fleet analytics and cost allocation.
