You prepay a certain amount like $500 or more and leave a credit card on file. Not sure if there was a yearly fee for the membership. But I do see the CFN signs at other stops where trucks would get fuel.
Most a larger scale most utility and government prepay for there fuel a year in advance because of there budgets and most have there own fuel stations.
But yes this website and system looks fishy to me. The way I see it we're gonna screwed no matter what. We have and use CFN, which is nothing like the above. It is a way of joining forces and buying in volume, so generally the price is lower. I have bought diesel for as much as .35 cents below the local pump price through CFN and then have also had to pay within .01 cent of pump price, so it is a savings but can vary. Our account is set up for "all fuels" so we can fuel both MH and toad.

I figured as much. That's why I threw it out there. To see what anyone else might know about it.

Agree with the main man "Johnny T", beware of the day that the business goes out of business due to high fuel prices..

I don't think I would want to participate in any of those programs at this time.
