Gulf Oil L. P. Selects Power Management Company as its Preferred Vendor to Help Reduce Energy Costs for Retailers

June 18, 2009 – Gulf Oil L.P. has selected Power Management Company as its Preferred Vendor for electricity and natural gas procurement for more than 1,400 gasoline retail centers in the Gulf Branded network.

In current economic times, operators not only need to increase revenue streams but find strategic methods to decrease expenses too. Gulf Oil is dedicated to helping its convenience petroleum operators on both fronts.

"Utility costs are the second highest operating expense after wages and benefits for operators," said Gulf Oil President and Chief Operating Officer Ron Sabia. "Working with Power Management Company will help our operators to be more efficient. Surely a more efficient operator is a stronger operator."

Gulf's goal is to help its branded operators decrease their utility costs and examine how to better manage energy usage. This will help deliver measureable savings and improve their operating margins.

"Power Management Company is proud to partner with Gulf Oil to offer its network of store operators a comprehensive energy strategy for reducing costs in their electricity and natural gas purchasing," said Kevin Kelly, Vice President of Marketing for Power Management Company.
