Just signed up for this, i know they could be collecting email addresses for spam, but i think its worth giving it a go, see what you think..??
( sorry if this has been posted before )

Bellow is text from them after you sign up;

"Firstly, thank you for signing up to Pipeline Card www.PipelineCard.org and pledging your support to the Pipeline Card cause. Despite recent cuts, we still pay more for fuel than just about anyone else in Europe so anything we can do to reduce prices is worth doing.

Pipeline Card has only been going for two months but we have already secured agreement in principle from a major retailer to offer fuel discounts of between 5p and 10p a litre. We have also had great support from the media, particularly from the car forums, Times Online, and from Martin Lewis, the money saving expert. If you haven't already done so, please check out the Media Page on the website www.PipelineCard.org/media.html .

Membership has been growing at an astonishing 10,000 members per week so we are well on our way to launching the Pipeline Card in April or May. However, we do need a lot of registrations to make this work on a national level so please give some thought to ways of telling other drivers about what we are doing.

Some of you have posted links on Forums - about 1600 of them actually - some have passed emails to their work colleagues, some have posted messages on Club Noticeboards and Newsletters or passed on details to journalists that they know. It all helps.

Please don't spam your whole address book, don't set up chain emails and, above all, don't register anyone on the site without their knowledge and permission. But if you know other drivers who would like to save money on petrol - friends, family, colleagues - do tell them about the website and give them the opportunity of joining Pipeline Card. Use this link www.PipelineCard.org/recommend.html on the website to make it easier if you like.

If all of you told just two people about Pipeline Card this week, and they signed up, that would triple our size. It's up to all of us to make this work and, judging by the response so far, it has every chance of success.

Please continue to write in with your queries, suggestions, and offers of help. There are only two of us to answer you - and both of us have other jobs - so bear with us if it takes a little while for us to respond. We do read every email and have already added more material to our Questions & Answers www.PipelineCard.org/qna.html
recently as a direct result of your feedback."

Best wishes

Ben Scammell - Pipeline Card Founder

As co-incidence would have it, they were interviewing someone from Pipeline on the local radio station this morning. I guess that now they have featured on BBC Radio Orkney, these folk at Pipeline will have very little left to look forward to...!!
Aside from the benefits the Pipeline man was spouting, the main point of the programme item was this card would further increase the disparity in the cost of fuel between places like Orkney and Shetland, and the more remote ares of the UK like England and Central Belt Scotland
Why? Well, according to the geezer from Pipeline, they are unlikley to be able to offer this card everywhere in the UK, only where their "retail partner" operates. Unfortunately, they dont reveal who their retail partner is, or where they operate, so there may be significant holes in there coverage of the UK, if it ever gets off the ground.
For those that think your fuel is already too expensive, imagine for a second what its like running a V8 in a place where the pump price is consistently 10-15p above the national average!

Bryan,

I know exactly what it's like to run the V8 in Orkney! Haven't seen you around for a while and wondered if you'd made it to this forum. Any mods to yours yet?
Jeff.

Bit warmer in Spain than here at the moment! I couldn't make the Ace Cafe but it looked like a good day out from the photos on here. I'm planning some exhaust and other mods in the summer if her indoors lets me but not quite sure where to go for the work.
