New fuel saving scheme hits town
Marmalade club offers up to 6p off a litre
 Save on Texaco  |
There's a new fuel-saving card in town, following the early headway made in this area by PHer Ben Scammell and his Pipeline card (see link below).
According to the creators of the Maramalade Car Club card, people can save of up to 6p per litre on fuel by buying one of the three £3.99 fuel cards it has on offer (Total, Texaco or BP) from Marmalade.
Every Sunday the fuel card price is posted on the web and this price is then fixed for the next seven days, giving the member the choice to use the fuel card to fill up their car or pay the pump price with cash or credit card.
Savings depend upon location and local conditions but these can be as much as 6p per litre on trunk roads and motorway services, according to the club.
The fuel cards work on a week by week basis and the cost of the weekly fuel bill is charged by direct debit allowing up to 17 days' credit.
Benefits
- Savings of up to 6p per litre
- Simplicity
- Fuel costs are known in advance
- No minimum volumes
- Cards available for all family members
- Detailed usage bills
The Marmalade fuel card scheme is open to members and the cost is £3.99 annually per primary account with additional cards are charged at £0.75. As a membership organisation, the club said it has access to over 160,000 members but, for any non-members looking to join, it has incorporated the cost of a primary fuel card within the annual Marmalade membership fee of £9.99.
Other benefits include discounts on tyres, airport parking, Channel crossings and others in similar vein.

More than likely its going to save @ 1p litre which means 1000 litres and you break even...
Besides, local garage is cheaper anyway... sorry I crawl back under my luddite rock.
