I think the AA or RAC did this once. Thet dropped it through lack of interest but whilst someone is prepared to spend the time indexing the prices I wish good luck to them. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Excellent site! It seems I can get diesel for 91.9ppl if I travel a bit out of my way. Never knew that! That's 4ppl cheaper than my normal petrol station - saving me about £3.20 a tank. I owe you a couple of Mars bars, RRUK! Laughing

I'm paying 90.9 plus my 5p discount from sainsburys - Why am I a tight git when I've spent nearly £50,000 on a car? 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Pipeline card - Get 5-10p discount on fuel

The following text is from the Moneysavingexpert.com website. It seems a good idea and worth registering with Pipelinecard to see if this can get off the ground.

Matt.



How?

A consumer scheme's being set up to use bulk buying consumer power to negotiate a big petrol discount from a major retailer. You simply register for a free card that allows you to get the discount.

This already happens in the corporate market with fuel cards, so its great to see the consumer version.

When does it start?

That's the catch-22. To get the card up and running a critical mass of people are needed. Having said that, the number needed is apparently 10s of thousands, yet with 350,000 receiving my email tip, I hope we can help get close to that. (im not linked with the scheme, i just support the concept)

Who runs it and how much do they make?

Fuel campaigner Ben Scammel runs the http://www.pipelinecard.org/ website (note if the site doesn't work, that may be due to the huge traffic following the email tip send, so try later). He says the card will be completely free, but of course organisation costs need to be met, yet this will come out of the discount negotiated, as will his profit I suspect. Not that it's an issue with a free card anyway.

How realistic is this?

The proposition is a good one and Ben claimed to have already negotiated the discount and have it up and running, just needs enough people now.

Go to http://www.pipelinecard.org/ and sign up. (note if the site doesn't work, that may be due to the huge traffic following the email tip send, so try later) Matt

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I travelled home from Holland last night and driving back from the airport noticed that the price of diesel has fallen from 91.9ppl on Sunday to 89.5ppl at all the fillingstations on the route from Glasgow Airport to the north side of the city. These fillingstations are nearly all "branded" or operated by the Oil majors. Interestingly the price at the Morrison's supermarket was the same as at the big name stations and one BP station was selling at 87.5ppl. I will be interested to see what the price is in Stirling because usually it is 1-2p more expensive there despite being 40 miles closer to the refinery than Glasgow! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
