For example, the surcharge for the week of March 21, 2022 is based on the National U.S. Average On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price released by the EIA the week of March 14, 2022.
The Ground Fuel Surcharge and Ground Fuel Surcharge for UPS SurePost will be set in relation to the following table:

For the released diesel fuel pricing information, please see the U.S. EIA's National U.S. Average On Highway Diesel Fuel Price. If the diesel fuel pricing information released by the EIA is delayed, UPS may use released diesel fuel pricing information from an earlier week.
