Key Takeaways from the Report: An emerging global supply surplus is creating downward pressure on crude oil prices, yet regional disruptions are adding significant volatility.

Traditional fuel surcharge programs based on the weekly DOE index are inaccurate, leading to missed savings opportunities.
