You bet, our fuel comes from major suppliers in Western Canada who meet or exceed the standards set out by the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) and the World Charter of Fuel Cleanliness.

We then put it to the test with our Fuel Quality Assurance program. This program is designed to provide you with the high-quality fuels that give optimal power, efficiency, and engine performance. As part of our quality program, sampling is done across our Cardlock and bulk delivery network to get an accurate representation of the fuel that is being provided from our suppliers.

Retail is a competitive, mainly urban, market intended for individual fuel customers.

Anyone can fuel up at a UFA cardlock, however customers require a fuel card to purchase. Find out which fuel card best meets your needs

Retail and cardlock pricing are different because of how companies set their prices.

With cardlock, fuel pricing is adjusted daily and reflects the wholesale price changes from the previous day set by the 3 major refiners (commonly known as the “Rack Price”), plus the cost of transportation. This price fluctuates based on factors such as oil price, supply and demand, and refinery outputs.

Retail pricing is based on local market competition and can fluctuate dramatically. Retail prices typically do not change daily, as the retailers determine when and by how much they will alter the retail price.

Each customer’s price can vary based on several factors, the main one being annual volume, so there isn’t one standard price that could be posted. That is why we’ve introduced Fuel Pricing Online using Cardlink, so that you can see your price before you fill your tank.

Absolutely! The fastest and easiest way to get your pricing is by signing in to myUFA and selecting view fuel prices on the Cardlink tile.

There are lots of benefits to using Dieselex Gold in your trucks and equipment. The here biggest ones are increased horsepower, fuel efficiency and increased protection of your engine. All these benefits are a result of Dieselex Gold’s proven engineering that provides real world results.

At 4 cents per litre more than base diesel, Dieselex Gold’s cost is in line with other premium diesels. Dieselex Gold does more than the competitors by protecting your fuel during long-term storage from season to season, increasing horsepower, and increasing fuel efficiency.

No, Dieselex Gold doesn’t have any cold flow or cold weather improvers in it. During the winter months a cold flow improver would have to be added on top of Dieselex Gold.

No there isn’t. Western Canadian refiners produce a seasonal fuel with the main difference being cloud point of the fuel. Cloud point is when wax crystals start to form in the fuel due to lower temperatures. Cloud point adjustment doesn’t affect the density or energy content of Type “B”– Automotive Low-Sulfur–diesel fuel from season to season. Refiners follow a strict cloud schedule based on province and zones within each province. Other operating characteristics of the fuel are very similar throughout each of the months within the year.
