Q - Why is CitySprint applying index-linked fuel supplements?

A -  Due to continuing fluctuations in fuel prices we are implementing index-linked fuel supplements to ensure that we only pass on the charges that are in line with the movements of the National & International fuel prices. Our aim is to keep the supplements fair and transparent. Our fuel supplements will rise, fall or be removed in line with the movements in fuel prices.

Q - What index is CitySprint using for fuel prices?

A -  We have chosen to use two index-linked fuel supplements, one for each service.

Our UK Overnight fuel supplement is priced on the European Commission Directorate General for Energy and Transport reported price for 1000 litres of automotive diesel.

Our International fuel supplement is priced on the average monthly for the US Energy Information Administration Rotterdam (ARA) spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel.
International Fuel Surcharge
The surcharge will be based on the monthly average spot prices for Kerosene/jet fuel (Rotterdam ARA), as published by the US Department of Energy. Prices are expressed in (USD) cents per US gallon.
