Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments
From time to time, we enter into forward fuel contracts to limit the exposure to price fluctuations for physical purchases of refined products in the normal course of business. We use derivatives to reduce the impact of market price volatility on our results of operations. Typically, we enter into forward fuel contracts with major financial institutions in which we fix the purchase price of refined grade fuel for a predetermined number of units with fulfillment terms of less than 90 days.
The following table presents the fair value of our derivative instruments, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The fair value amounts below are presented on a gross basis and do not reflect the netting of asset and liability positions permitted under our master netting arrangements, including any cash deficit or collateral on deposit with our counterparties. We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements. As a result, the asset and liability amounts below differ from the amounts presented in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we did not elect hedge accounting treatment for these derivative positions. As a result, all changes in fair value are marked to market in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. See Note 16 for further information regarding the fair value of derivative instruments.
