What it does:
Texas-based wholesale distributor of gas and diesel fuel.

Why it's growing:
An unwaivering demand for diesel fuel from construction and drilling companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area has kept sales on the up despite slows in cash flow and a credit crunch caused by rising fuel costs.

What's noteworthy:
Ricochet sells both on and off-road diesel, the only difference being the red dye placed in off-road fuel to indicate it's not taxed by the state of Texas and should only be used for non-transportation vehicles.
