Questions and answers

What is the Global Fuel Report?

It is a weekly report on the world's fuel supply, published by ComplianceSME, and every issue carries its own date.

Each issue reads the refineries, pipelines and plants, the gas in storage, and the crude and product prices.

It carries the pump price in each country's own money, the road corridors, the diesel indices and a call on next week.

It is written for anyone whose week turns on fuel, and for the buyer who has to make a decision on Monday.

Which parts are free to read?

The report's own page is free and needs no account.

It opens on the week's headline reading, carries one finding from the issue in full, and counts what the issue holds.

The running order under that names every section of the issue, so you see the shape of the whole before you pay.

Do I need a subscription to read the rest?

You do, and it opens the full issue, the weekly summary, the news desk and the dashboard.

Your own country opens first on the dashboard, with its prices, its diesel index and its call for next week.

There is a page for every country the issue holds, and the data behind every figure sits in the dashboard.

How much is it?

£10 a month.

It is also included in every paid ComplianceSME account level, so a paid level has nothing further to pay and nothing to switch on.

What happens when I press Subscribe?

The press takes you to Stripe, where you pay and give the email address you want the report on.

Stripe sends you back to your account page, and you sign in with that same address.

We send a sign-in link to it, so there is no password to remember.

The report is on the account from then on.

I have paid. Why is the report not on my account?

The subscription is keyed to the email address you gave Stripe, so sign in with that one.

A different address opens a different account.

Buying opens nothing on its own: the sign-in is what opens it.

When does the next issue land, and how long do I keep it?

A new issue lands every Friday at 07:00 UTC.

Each issue stays on your account, so you can show how a figure moved from week to week.

Where do the figures come from?

Every figure is read from a named source and carries the date it was read.

A publisher's own date can fall outside the reporting week, and the issue prints the date that publisher gave.

The full method is at compliancesme.com/fuel/methodology/, which names the register behind the figures, the state rule and how a correction is made.

May I quote it in my own work?

Yes. You may quote it, forward it, print it, put it in a report of your own and publish it.

That covers part or all of an issue, for any purpose including a commercial one, on one condition.

The source line at the foot of the page stays with the part you use, so the figure keeps its source.

You may not present it as your own work, and you may not remove or alter that line.

Can I cancel?

It is monthly, and you can cancel any time.

Your account page carries a billing row that opens the subscription for you to change or to cancel it.
