Bulk Fuel Delivery Cost in Florida (2026 Guide)

Bulk fuel delivery pricing in Florida starts with the wholesale rack price at the terminal on the day of delivery, and every supplier adds its cost of sourcing and delivering the fuel on top. At Exigo Fuels your price per gallon follows the day's market, the live price for your ZIP shows today's delivered number, and larger committed monthly volumes are quoted lower. Here is a complete breakdown of what you should expect to pay — and what moves the number.

What you actually pay per gallon

Bulk fuel pricing has two components: the base commodity price and the delivery margin.

• Commodity price: This tracks the OPIS (Oil Price Information Service) or PLATTS rack price for the terminal nearest your delivery location. In South Florida, the primary terminal is Port Everglades. The rack price changes daily and is publicly trackable. You can check current rack averages at opisnet.com.
• Delivery margin: This is the supplier's charge for sourcing, transporting, and delivering the fuel. It varies by supplier, volume, and delivery terms; at Exigo Fuels your written quote shows the exact delivered price.

Any per-gallon figure printed in an article is stale the week after it publishes, because the commodity leg moves daily. For reference, in late August 2026 the tax-paid South Florida rack ran about $5.13/gal for clear ULSD and about $4.79/gal for off-road dyed diesel. For today's number, check the live delivered price for your ZIP; your written quote confirms the exact price.

Volume and what it means for price

Monthly volume moves your per-gallon price: larger committed monthly volumes are quoted lower. Volume pricing is set per account rather than published, because it also turns on payment terms (COD vs. net-30) and delivery schedule flexibility. Ask for your number in writing before you commit.

Minimum order and delivery fees

Most bulk fuel suppliers in Florida set minimum delivery orders between 500 and 1,000 gallons. At Exigo Fuels, the minimum is 250 gallons — every product, every service area, marine included, with no smaller exception.

Delivery fees vary by supplier. Some bake the delivery cost into the per-gallon price (so it looks like one number). Others charge a separate delivery fee per truck roll. Exigo Fuels charges no delivery fee and no trip charge on standard deliveries within the Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach service area.

Pricing by fuel type

Different fuel products carry different base prices. Here is how the main product lines compare:

• ULSD #2 diesel — the most common commercial product. Its wholesale price is the Port Everglades ultra-low-sulfur diesel rack.
• Off-road (dyed) diesel — typically $0.25–$0.45/gal cheaper than on-road ULSD because the federal highway tax ($0.244/gal) is not collected. Only for off-road equipment, generators, and agriculture — using it in on-road vehicles is a federal offense.
• Gasoline (87-octane) — its wholesale price follows the gasoline rack at the same terminals.
• REC-90 ethanol-free gasoline — carries a real premium over 87-octane due to specialty sourcing, around $0.90/gal on late-August 2026 South Florida racks. Essential for marine engines, generators, and landscaping equipment where ethanol causes fuel system damage.

What raises your per-gallon price

These are the factors that actually move your cost per gallon:

• Rack movement: The wholesale rack moves every business day, and your delivered price follows the market. The live price for your ZIP shows today's number.
• Remote or difficult access sites: Deliveries requiring a driver to navigate a construction site, a narrow marina fuel dock, or a multi-level parking structure add service complexity that some suppliers price in. Exigo Fuels adds no delivery fee or trip charge on standard deliveries.
• Payment terms: COD, prepaid, and net-30 accounts can be priced differently on contract, because net terms carry a financing cost. Ask for your terms in writing.
• Emergency dispatch: The 1-hour, 2-hour, and 4-hour tiers are exclusive to contracted accounts and priced in the contract. Standard deliveries carry no after-hours, weekend, or night surcharge.

How to get the best bulk fuel price in Florida

There are two levers that reliably lower your per-gallon cost:

1. Consolidate volume: If you have multiple yards or sites, put all of them on one account. Combined volume unlocks better tier pricing even if each individual site is small.
2. Commit to a schedule: A fixed weekly or bi-weekly delivery cadence is cheaper to serve than on-call delivery. Suppliers reward schedule predictability with lower prices.
