  National Organization Members: AFSA Teams with ExxonMobil

Members save up to 5 cents a gallon!

DALLAS - 5/07/2009

The American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA), North America's largest organization of fire sprinkler contractors, has announced a new fuel card program as a benefit for its members. Now AFSA members can get a nickel per gallon rebate when they enroll in AFSA's new Exxon/Mobil Fleet Card Program!

Yes, gas is expensive, but those nickels can add up. In an industry where time is spent each day driving to the job site, fuel costs directly affect the bottom line on a daily basis. Saving money and tracking your fleet expenditures is critical. That's why the ExxonMobil Fleet Card offers one of the most generous rebate programs in the industry - saving you up to 5 cents per gallon - and a powerful, state-of-the-art tool to help you manage the cost of fueling your vehicles. It's an ideal combination to help make your job easier and save your business money.

When you and your employees use your AFSA Exxon/Mobil fleet card, your monthly statement will reflect the reduction, saving you money right off the top! Plus, the $50 enrollment fee is WAIVED for AFSA members. There's no risk or obligation, and this program is exclusively for AFSA members.

Whether you have 5 vehicles or 500, the ExxonMobil Fleet Card can help you manage your business expenses. Visit www.ExxonMobilFleetOffers.com/AFSA or call (214) 356-8325 to learn more about this program.
