Velocity & Acceleration Velocity (VI) is the weighted speed of price change; Acceleration (AI) is its week-over-week change — it flags a regime shift before VI alone does. VI = 0.5·WoW + 0.3·MoM(4w) + 0.2·QoQ(12w); AI = VI(w) − VI(w−1).

Breadth & Geography How many of the five PADD regions are rising week-over-week (the Breadth Index), and the direction of each region. Broad moves are more significant than a single-region swing.
Regular Gasoline 0/5 PADDs rising · 5 falling, 0 flat — mostly falling — the easing is broad, not regional.
Diesel ULSD 0/5 PADDs rising · 5 falling, 0 flat — mostly falling — the easing is broad, not regional.

Fuel Surcharge Calculator Estimate a fuel surcharge from the current EIA on-highway diesel average. Per-mile (FTL) uses a stepped peg table (the OOIDA convention) or a continuous formula; percent-of-linehaul (LTL) maps the diesel price to a band. Your base price and table are contract-specific.

Current EIA ULSD: $5.059/gal · week of Jun 15, effective Jun 17–Jun 23

Peg (OOIDA default)

Your base price and table are defined by your carrier contract. Using the wrong base produces incorrect surcharge values.

Retail Pressure Heat Map State-level Retail Pressure Index (RPI-C). States with their own EIA series use it directly; the rest inherit their PADD region's value. Color shows pressure, not absolute price — so it is comparable across regions.
RPI-C zones 0–20 Very Low 20–40 Low 40–60 Moderate 60–80 Elevated 80–100 Severe
Methodology How every number on this dashboard is sourced and computed — and how the index was validated against historical fuel-price regimes. RPI-C v1

The TOE Retail Pressure Index (RPI-C) turns weekly EIA retail fuel prices into a single 0–100 reading of how much upward (or downward) pressure a fuel is under — relative to its own recent history, not its absolute price. It blends four independent signals so that no single quirk (a seasonal pattern, a one-week spike, an isolated regional move) dominates the picture.

Data sources

EIA Form 878 — Motor Gasoline
Weekly retail regular gasoline survey (~900 outlets). National, regional (PADD) and California series.
EIA Form 888 — On-Highway Diesel
Weekly retail on-highway diesel (ULSD) survey (~590 outlets). National, PADD and California series.
Release cadence
Both surveys publish Mondays after 5:00 PM ET (the prior Monday's pricing). A federal-holiday Monday delays the release a day.
PADD regions
The five Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts (PADD 1 East Coast … PADD 5 West Coast) are the geographic backbone for the Breadth Index and the state heat map.
What it is not
These are survey aggregates, not station-level transaction prices. The Pressure Index measures relative pressure, not absolute cost — so a low-price region can still read high pressure.

The RPI-C index family

Four component indices feed the composite. Each is computed per fuel from the stored weekly observations; each is shown on the Pressure tab alongside the headline.

RPI Range Position Index 0–100

Where today's price sits within its own 5-year trailing range.

100 · (p − min) / (max − min)

e.g. If the 5-yr window runs $2.00–$6.00 and today is $4.00, RPI = 100·(4−2)/(6−2) = 50.

ZSI Seasonal Z-Score Index σ units (normalized 0–100)

How unusual the price is for this specific week of the year, vs the same week in prior years.

z = (p − μ) / σ over the same calendar week, 5 yr (min 3)

e.g. A reading 2σ above the same-week mean → z = +2.0, which normalizes to ≈ 88 / 100.

VI Velocity Index signed % (normalized 0–100)

How fast the price is moving, blending short-, medium- and longer-horizon momentum.

0.5·WoW% + 0.3·4wk% + 0.2·12wk%

e.g. +10% WoW, +5% 4-wk, 0% 12-wk → VI = 0.5·10 + 0.3·5 + 0.2·0 = 6.5%.

AI Acceleration Index signed Δ

Whether velocity itself is building or fading — the change in VI week over week.

AI = VI(this week) − VI(prior week)

e.g. VI rising from 4.0% to 6.5% → AI = +2.5 (pressure is accelerating).

BI Breadth Index 0–1 (×100)

How widespread the move is across the five PADD regions — broad moves carry more weight than isolated ones.

share of the 5 PADDs rising week over week

e.g. 4 of 5 PADDs rising → BI = 0.80, i.e. 80 / 100 normalized.

The composite and its zones

The headline RPI-C is a weighted blend. Range position carries the most weight (it is the most stable); the z-score and velocity are normalized to 0–100 via a logistic curve before weighting, and breadth contributes a final tempering factor.

RPI-C = 0.40·RPI + 0.25·norm(ZSI) + 0.25·norm(VI) + 0.10·norm(BI)

where norm(ZSI) = 100 / (1 + e^−z), norm(VI) = 100 / (1 + e^(−v/3)), and norm(BI) = 100·BI.

Worked example A perfectly neutral week — price mid-range (RPI = 50), on its seasonal norm (z = 0 → 50), flat (VI = 0 → 50), mixed breadth (BI = 0.5 → 50) — gives RPI-C = 0.40·50 + 0.25·50 + 0.25·50 + 0.10·50 = 50.0, the centre of the Moderate zone.

Validation back-test

Before going live, RPI-C is back-tested against seven seeded historical fuel-price regimes. The standard: every event must land within one zone band of its expected reading (none two or more bands off), and the 2022 Russia/Ukraine peak must read Severe (≥ 80). This pins the methodology to known outcomes and guards against silent drift after a data refresh.

PASS 3/7 exact-zone 1 max bands off Russia/Ukraine ≥ 80: yes COVID ≤ 20: yes
Regime event Headline date Expected Observed RPI-C Within band
2008 Financial Crisis Fuel Collapse Severe Pressure
2011 Libya / Arab Spring Spike Severe Pressure
2014–2016 Oil Bust Very Low Pressure
2020 COVID Demand Collapse 2020-05-04 Very Low Pressure Very Low Pressure 15.4 ✓ exact
2021–2022 Post-COVID Surge 2021-11-15 Elevated Pressure Severe Pressure 86.1 ✓ ±1
2022 Russia / Ukraine Spike 2022-06-20 Severe Pressure Severe Pressure 95.4 ✓ exact
2026 Spring Event 2026-05-04 Severe Pressure Severe Pressure 93.8 ✓ exact

Pre-2012 events evaluate against the all-types diesel series (history to 1994); the ULSD 5-year trailing window is too thin before ~2012 (retail ULSD begins 2007). Same-week ZSI absorbs sustained regimes into its own baseline, so the z-score component can read modestly at a prolonged peak even when the composite is correctly Severe. Validation currently covers U.S. national diesel.
