Over the past 13 years Fred has developed the OPIS retail database into the most timely and accurate source available.  Everyday prices are updated at nearly 100,000 unique stations. Each station is connected to an OPIS terminal so every time a retail transaction occurs, OPIS calculates a margin providing the industry with an unprecedented index to measure fuel profits locally or nationally.

Fred has developed strategic relationships with some of the largest consumer companies in the country including AAA, MapQuest, Microsoft, SiriusXM, Garmin, TomTom, Yahoo, and many more to bring real-time fuel prices and station information directly to drivers.  He also provides expert commentary for print and electronic media during times of oil volatility and is often quoted in USA Today, the NY Times, the AP and many other publications.
