Fuel Recovery Fee
Our Fuel Recovery fee calculation is tied to the U.S. Department of Energy diesel
price index. This index is information based on data from the U.S. Energy Information
Administration. A link to this site has been provided please click HERE. The SDI Fuel
Recovery Fee will be updated each month (on or about the 1st of the month). The
corresponding diesel rate for the Lower Atlantic States will be the peak weekly-published
price per gallon in the preceding month. The Fuel Recovery Fee for your billing
period will based from the our Fuel Recovery Table by clicking HERE. For example, if
the peak diesel price per gallon was $3.85 from the U.S EIA website, your fee based
from the Fuel Recovery Table would be 9.44% of your invoice or bill amount, excluding
tax. This fee would apply for the entire period covered by your invoice or bill.
Not a Government Tax
The Fuel Recovery Fee is not a tax imposed by or remitted to any government or regulatory
agency. This fee is a charge that SDI charge to cover our costs. The Fuel Recovery
Fee may be changed at any time at the discretion of SDI.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do I receive a Fuel Recovery Fee?
A: The historical fluctuation of diesel fuel cost has made it difficult for SDI
to recover and administer fuel expenses in our operating margins. Our collection
vehicles that run on diesel only average 3 to 4 miles per gallon.
Q: If the price of diesel goes down, will the fuel recovery fee go down also?
A: Yes, the charge is tied to the U.S EIA index, if the U.S. EIA index falls so
will your recovery fee. This is based on the table provided by SDI.
