WHO WE ARE

The California Fuels & Convenience Alliance (CFCA), is the industry's statewide trade association representing the entire downstream fuel supply chain. Our association represents everyone between the refineries and final consumers, including marketers/distributors, transporters, and gas stations & convenience stores.

The vast majority of our members are small business owners -with many of them being family-owned businesses passed down from one generation to the next- who serve every region, city, county, and locality in this state.

Together, we're stronger. Consider becoming a CFCA member today:

Now renamed as the CFCA Summit, we'll be returning to the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego from September 2-4, 2025

CFCA Podcast: BEYOND THE PUMP

For most Californians, the gas station is their primary interaction with the fuels industry. But, there's so much more to this complex and pivotal sector that affects our daily lives in ways we might not even realize.
In this podcast, we go beyond the pump uncovering the legislative battles, learning about the stories, and navigating the world of the fuels industry. From the ever-evolving technologies to the socioeconomic impacts, we'll bring you expert insights, interviews with industry leaders, and discussions that shed light on the fuel that powers our lives.

Support Los Angeles Wildfire Relief Efforts

The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles are impacting communities, businesses, and families across Southern California. Our hearts go out to all the families and communities who are affected, and we hope that all our members and their families located in SoCal are safe.

If you are looking to support those affected by the fires, you may contribute to the Fuel Relief Fund (FRF), an organization dedicated to providing emergency fuel and critical resources to those in need. Funds donated to FRF for this cause will go towards purchasing gas cards to be distributed to families at community centers and shelters.

Here's how you can help:

  1. Donate to the Fuel Relief Fund here: DONATE TODAY
  2. Email info@fuelrelieffund.org or kfrancis@fuelrelieffund.org to specify that your donation is intended for the SoCal fires relief effort

Every donation counts and brings hope to those facing these challenging times.
