\"\"DALLAS \u2013 <\/strong>To improve the quality of life for military communities, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is introducing TOP TIER™ certified branded fuel at more than 180 gas stations<\/a> on Army and Air Force installations in CONUS.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Military shoppers at select installations will be able to fuel up with Marathon, Valero and BP\/Amoco fuel, depending on geographic location, at the Exchange\u2019s Express gas stations. Expresses are receiving signing and canopies\u2014identical to those used at the brands\u2019 gas stations outside the gate\u2014to let Warfighters and their families know that they can purchase the high-quality fuel at the low prices they have come to expect at Express gas stations.<\/p>\n

The transition to TOP TIER fuel started in November at Fort Hood with the Clear Creek Express, which is now dispensing Valero fuel. Remaining Express stores at Hood, including III Corps, Kouma, Warrior Way, 37th<\/sup> Street, Comanche and West Fort Hood, are slated to be converted by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Exchange continues to enhance the quality of life for service members and their families, allowing shoppers at these locations to fuel up with the national brands they know and trust without leaving the installation,\u201d said Exchange Director\/CEO Tom Shull. \u201cMuch like the introduction of name-brand restaurants in the 1980s and name-brand car care services in the 1990s, bringing branded fuel to these Expresses will further strengthen military shoppers\u2019 hard-earned Exchange benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Procuring Marathon, Valero and BP\/Amoco fuel improves the Exchange\u2019s already-secure supply chain, enhancing the Exchange\u2019s support of military communities during emergencies and natural disasters. The Exchange\u2019s fuel pricing policy\u2014matching local competition for each fuel grade where the competition offers a similar service at the same terms and conditions\u2014will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n

The updated fuel canopies heralding the branded fuel are being implemented at no cost to the Exchange or the installations.<\/p>\n

With 100% of Exchange earnings being reinvested into the military community, procurement and logistics savings realized by the initiative will further strengthen the Exchange\u2019s ability to support Warfighters and their families. In the last 10 years, your Exchange benefit has provided $3.4 billion in earnings for critical military Quality-of-Life programs.<\/p>\n

Authorized Exchange shoppers, including service-connected disabled Veterans as well as Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians, can fuel up at the Express.<\/p>\n

Social media friendly version: <\/strong>\u00a0At no additional cost to the military community, Valero, Marathon and BP\/Amoco fuel is coming to @exchange Express gas stations around the nation. Here\u2019s how branded fuel will make life better for Warfighters and families: https:\/\/wp.me\/p9Q7PG-1Vm<\/a><\/p>\n
