Group buy - petrol
#5
Just an idea...
Between us we must get through 000's gallons of petrol a week. Has anyone thought of having a buying arrangement for Petrol? Loads of companies have them - could we sort out the same thing? If we could it would be a good way of securing SUL at a decent price, it seems to be getting rarer and the price varies wildly.
Ideas welcome.

I don't know, but some big petrol companies offer some sort of discount (usually through some discount card) but this discount card is only available to ibg groups (Usually, companies wich provide cars to their workers, etc). You could try to form some sort of community (scooby@uk seems like a good idea) and try to negotiate those discount cards... I love the Idea, but really don't know who to talk to... (+, I'm in Portugal, so count me out of this one )

At work we deal with Arval PHH who operate two kinds of cards, Allstar and Overdrive it might be worth going on there website or phoning 01793 887 000 - ask for the fuel team.
Hope that helps!

This is actually a bloody good idea a m8 and me tried to organise this for both our companies a while ago, can't remeber where we got to, I'll try and dig it up.
Preferrable we need a single location with buy in from garage owners (dangerous) for fuel like Shell Optimax which I belive is 99 Ron.
I'll sniff around!

We should also import the petrol from Europe, as its cheaper over there !

Yes, but you will get stung with import duites so you will not save anything. Unless you are thinking of hiding some down your trousers the next time you come back from the continent....

sorry to put a stop to all this frivolity by law you are only allowed to store 5 litres of fuel at a private premises.....hence why all those "jerry" cans only hold 5 litres.............those of you with those big metal containers brought cheap at car bootds etc...think again.........
sorry.....
sorry.....

Now THIS is the sort of thing that makes a community like this so great, people united through common interest - I am well and truly up for it and will help if I can. Also, er 99Ron fuel.......... WHERE?????????!!!!!!!! I want it, I NEED it.....

Hi Chaps.. this is a great idea...
I have actually been working on this behind the scenes to try to put together a scoobynet privellage card for fuel..
It looks like it would mean sticking to one fuel company, but *could* mean quite a good saving..
stay tuned
Cheers

Simon,
The fuel card I have at work (UK Agency) allows me to use BP and Shell. There's plenty of them about and most sell SUL. I would think you could get something like this so you're not limited to one company..

Nimbus.. surely that's just a charge card though rather than a discount card?
We certainly stand a far better chance of good discounts if we offer loyalty to one company..
We are actually quite a long way down the road with this, so I step up the pace a bit and get things moving.
Shell Optimax???!?!?!??!?! where where where!!!

Are you looking for preferences on filling stations, just in case it will be restricted to one?
If so, mine are:
First Choice : Shell
Second Choice: Esso
