Anyone used "The Diesel Club?"

[scotlandtim]

Looks like a good deal

Whats the catch?

https://thedieselclub.co.uk/

From what I can see £29.99 membership - then set price diesel across UK - currently £1.34 ppl

Currently between our 3 cars we usually spend around £100 per week so should see savings soon!

Ive joined - will see how it works.

Here's a link if anyone wants to join - if you use my link i believe I get £10 of free diesel!

That's 6ppl cheaper than the cheapest diesel locally currently, however it would take 20,000 miles just to pay off the fee before making any savings, assuming 40mpg.

This week's club price is 2p/l more than my nearest Costco (£84 membership with a £40 voucher to spend at the store).

Next cheapest local price is only 0.2p/l more than diesel club price, so that would require me to buy 14995 litres to break even, assuming the price differential is maintained.

Think I'll pass for the time-being.

Costco membership would save you more, as diesel is currently 126.9 at my local.

i can see how it wouldn't work out for many

For me, in Rural Scotland there is no Costco - so that options out.

Between our 3 cars we do 55000 miles per year, so should see a small saving

You'd be lucky to find a decent garage, never mind a Costco, in some rural areas up there

I got a UK Fuels card for free that does the same. Price this week is £1.29 and that includes at many motorway services.

Don't actually have any diesel vehicles right now though!

Update:

it's working well for me. Card took a while to arrive, so emailed and they refunded initial cost and gave £15 as a voucher - which meant a free £35 of diesel.

have filled up 2 cars twice (four fills) and so far saved £60.21

Admittedly once was at a motorway services so big discount, but I needed diesel and was passing, so why not. Forecourt price was something like £1.73, but I got it for £1.38

Plenty of stations on the network, even in Cumbria and Scotland, so I'm pleased with it.

See photo below and invite link - do use, if you're joining, gets me some free fuel.

Cheers!

I am glad that you have come back and updated us. I spotted an advertisement for The Diesel Club and having looked into fuel cards before but not a Director of a limited company etc. I wouldn't qualify for having one despite me doing 10,000s of miles and spending a fortune each month.

My card is yet to arrive and I got chilly feet especially as an article on the MSE forum appears to have been taken down? -yet it appears in search results. Something smelt fishy though I am most pleased you've cleared that up.
