# Fuel Purchasing Alliance > Fuel Purchasing Alliance is an actively managed fuel procurement alliance for small and mid-sized commercial fleets, powered by LRG GPO and SourceIntersect. Unlike a fuel card issuer or retail fuel network, Fuel Purchasing Alliance is procurement-first: it aggregates member fleet volume, negotiates pricing, monitors fuel markets continuously, and manages fuel spend on members' behalf. Members access pricing through a negotiated fuel card program issued by a nationwide partner. Membership is free, always. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.fuelpurchasingalliance.com/): Overview of the Alliance's mission, the 4-step process (Audit & Baseline → Alliance and Enrollment → Active Procurement → Reporting and Optimization), and the broader category lineup available to members beyond fuel (warehouse equipment, shop supplies, safety gear, tools, and more). - [About](https://www.fuelpurchasingalliance.com/about/): Founders — Brian Townsend (healthcare GPO architecture, 5 years at Corpay/Comdata) and Steve Cross (LRG GPO co-founder, 12 years in GPO management, 10+ years in enterprise logistics procurement).
