41 C.F.R. Subpart H—Motor Vehicle Fueling
Title 41 - Public Contracts and Property Management
You may obtain fuel for any motor vehicle owned or leased by the Government by using: (a) A Government-issued charge card; (b) A Government agency fueling facility; or (c) Personal funds and obtaining reimbursement from your agency. (a) You may use a fleet charge card specifically issued for this purpose. These cards are designed to collect motor vehicle data at the time of purchase. Where appropriate, State sales and motor fuel taxes are deducted from fuel purchases by the fleet charge card services contractor before your agency is billed. The GSA contractor issued fleet charge card is the only Government-issued charge card that may be used for GSA Fleet motor vehicles. For further information on acquiring these fleet charge cards and their use, contact the: General Services Administration, Attn: FCX, Washington, DC 20406. (b) You may use a Government purchase card if you do not have a fleet charge card or if the use of such a government purchase card is required by your agency mission. However, the Government purchase card does not collect motor vehicle data nor does it deduct State sales and motor fuel taxes. Note to §102–34.330: OMB Circular A–123, Appendix B, contains additional specific guidance on the management, issuance, and usage of Government charge cards. The Appendix B guidance consolidates and updates current Governmentwide charge card program requirements and guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget, General Services Administration, Department of the Treasury, and other Federal agencies. Appendix B provides a single document to incorporate changes, new guidance, or amendments to existing guidance, and establishes minimum requirements and suggested best practices for Government charge card programs that may be supplemented by individual agency policy procedures. [64 FR 59593, Nov. 2, 1999, as amended at 71 FR 27639, May 12, 2006] (a) Use the grade (octane rating) of fuel recommended by the motor vehicle manufacturer when fueling motor vehicles owned or leased by the Government. (b) Do not use premium grade gasoline in any motor vehicle owned or leased by the Government unless the motor vehicle specifically requires premium grade gasoline. (c) Use unleaded gasoline in all Government owned or leased motor vehicles designed to operate on gasoline and used overseas unless: (1) Such use would be in conflict with country-to-country or multi-national logistics agreements; or (2) Such gasoline is not available locally. Yes. You must use self-service fuel pumps to the fullest extent possible.
