Default Anyone Use Diesel Cards?

Yeah, I know a daft question on a Subaru PETROLHEAD BBS but!



We were using Allstar which is pump prices but we came across Diesel Direct which gives us a Diesel only fuelcard @ "spot" prices, which this week was 74.85p per litre - something in the order of 10p per litre cheaper!

They buy their fuel in bulk then add a penny to the litre price they get it for and then pass on the saving to their clients whilst using up their bulk.

Been approached by another company this week whose litre price this week was 71.5p


Anybody use these cards? What experiences? Who is the best company? Who is the cheapest? Are the prices stable? Sustainable and sustained? Any other advice?

Thanks



(I've not yet found one for petrol but someone might know different )

Allstar do a Diesel card as well - it's what we use.

Just be careful when comparing pices - some include VAT and others don't when quoting

Dad used to have a Diesel Direct card for a company car a few years ago. At the time, one of the few places locally that used to take them was a truck stop.

The high pressure pumps there were obviously designed for pumping diesel at a high flow rate for filling wagon sized tanks. To get it to fill his Escort, he had to relatively trickle it in. However, the flow meter obviously wasn't designed for low flow rates, as it would only record approximately half the diesel that actually went into his car
