Statement for the Record Annual Meeting of the National Conference on Weights and Measures

Laws and Regulations Committee

July 14, 2008, Burlington, Vermont. Madame Chairman and Members of the NCWM: My name is Holly Alfano, representing NATSO, a trade association representing more than 1000 truck stops and travel plazas. Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. I thank you for the many hours you have spent deliberating on the issue of ATC, and I encourage you to continue your careful deliberations. Consumers here in the United States are fortunate—even with the recent run up in fuel prices – to enjoy some of the lowest fuel prices among all of the industrialized nations. Consumers have an expectation of low prices, and any actions that are taken which affect fuel prices will be studied by them with a magnifying glass. I have a presentation that contains a lot of numbers that explain how fuel is priced both at wholesale and retail—and I will be happy to run through it with anyone here who has questions. But retail fuel pricing is not rocket science; it is simple accounting. A retailer calculates the costs of a load of fuel and passes them on, factoring in the competitive marketplace and hopefully a margin that will allow him to stay in business. As you will see from reviewing the scenarios in the presentation, hot days or cold days make no difference. Costs are factored into pricing. The recent run-up in fuel prices has seriously impacted independent fuel retailers. Their credit lines are maxed out, with rapidly escalating fuel prices seriously straining their cash flow. Credit card fees and other costs of doing business are cutting into margins like never before—and many retailers are on the verge of bankruptcy. The adoption of an expensive new technology such as ATC—that has no proven consumer benefit—will simply eliminate some of the retailers from the marketplace. They will not be able to afford to upgrade their equipment in the current business environment of shrinking margins and declining volume. Please carefully evaluate the proposals for implementation of ATC. A continued examination of the facts will reveal that this ATC has no merit or consumer benefit. Thank you for your careful deliberation on this issue. Holly Alfano Vice President, Government Affairs NATSO, Inc. 1737 King Street, Suite 200 Alexandria, VA 22314 (703) 739-8501 [email protected]
