Greetings one and all.
A 'heads up' for those of you who aren't already aware!
I'm a retired Insurance Claims adjuster, so fully inured to reading the small print, also fully aware that there's no such thing as a 'free lunch'; however, the fuel card which the club has negotiated for us cost nothing, so I thought it a good idea to add to the portfolio of touring options.
Before we toddled up to Norfolk last Friday in 'Barbara Ann', our VW California SE, I popped into Cobham services on the M25 to fill up for the journey and used the Shell card to pay. At a price of £1:40 a litre, Shell can well afford to give an 8p per litre discount, even in the wilds of Norfolk did we see prices greater than £1:22 per litre!
We'll keep the fuel card, in case we're caught short on the motorway network, but at those prices, it will be 'break glass for emergency use' only.
