Default PIPELINE CHEAP PETROL FOR ALL

Anyone got any news?

I keep getting the e mails itrillion million new members but no cheap petrol. Tonight I filled up and optimax has gone up again!

My garage manager and I are on better terms than me and the Bank Manager.
He thinks something fishy is going on, no reason for any petrol increases.

If Shell/Esso etc were not making money at the Forecourts, they would shut it down immediately.

All this ********* about the rest of the world supporting the poor petrol retailer in the UK.

Anyone got any real news about whether we will ever get this Card?

I think the card is a load of crap.
It was just a good way of getting a couple of hundread thousand email adresses to pass on to others. 'Special offers' such as Sat nav are not what
i signed up for! Cheaper petrol is what we want but i think its turning into a pipe dream.

Nik,

That's how I feel. What about the media people who have endosed such as Hammond from Top Gear??

Do you think if it is a scam he'll get sorted?

I'm starting to think that its just a marketing scam to be honest. Specially as they've started trying to sell stuff to us that isn't petrol!
I believe if someone really wanted they could be done for fraud.. Obtaining money by deception and all that.

Question

So has anyone got any news about, is this Ben Chappie serious or are we being taken for a ride?

It really would be great if he can pull this off and we can all club together and get cheaper petrol. I have asked a couple of people who run several lorries and the Fuel Card works in the same way, they don't psay full pump price.

Sooo, it already exists but, for the likes of us, who knows?

Would relly be intersted if anyone has any insider info on this please?

Thanks.

I doubt he will have negotiated with shell anyway. Probably someone like Q8, with hardly any stations, and no 98RON.
