The Colorado Wyoming Petroleum Marketers Association (CWPMA) has been the united voice of petroleum marketers since 1934. The Association represents the independent petroleum marketers in the wholesale and retail business of gasoline, special fuels and lubricants. Petroleum marketers are made up of locally owned, generational businesses that through branding agreements and supply contracts are partners with gasoline refineries and producers. In Colorado, our members sell seventy percent of all gasoline and special fuel sold at wholesale and retail through their own fuel outlets or dealers. In Wyoming, our Members sell eighty percent of all gasoline and special fuel at wholesale and retail. Total retail outlets are over 1,500. Our Associate Members are companies or individuals whose services or supplies are sold to petroleum marketers. Our members are on the leading edge of introducing renewable fuels into the markets for both Colorado and Wyoming in a cost effective manner.
Our number one priority as an association is to represent its members both legislatively and regulatory so the marketer’s voices are heard. CWPMA continually works to promote the fair enactment of state and federal legislation and regulations relating to its members.
