Tankering Fuel Would Generate Cost Savings Under Some Circumstances

• Air Mobility Command can enjoy savings from tankering even without access to market fuel price data.
• Most savings generated by tankering would come from in-theater wartime operations.
• The sharing of fuel market rate prices between the Defense Logistics Agency and Air Mobility Command would benefit the Department of Defense.
• Even without price-information sharing, both Air Mobility Command and the Department of Defense would benefit from savings in the wartime scenario.
• Offloading fuel from the aircraft fuel tank or other onboard containers could increase Department of Defense tankering savings by 460%.
