Shell Fuel Card

the fuel card which the club has negotiated for us cost nothing,

I thought it was £3 per year......??

I certainly haven't bothered.....

If I fuel up with the caravan in tow it is invariably on the motorway. However as I doubt that it averages more than once a year (if that) I shall resist yet another card in my wallet.

I think many of us realised it doesn't represent a true saving as m/way service station prices are sky high so tend to fill up elsewhere. Some of us don't even have a m/way nearby anyway.

This brings back vague memories of the first special offer that vanished in a very strange way as soon as we became aware of it. 

I think if I was needing fuel in an emergency, I would only put enough in to get me home or to site then find a local garage to fill up. another waste by the cmc.

It's nice that the option is there for those who might benifit. However, I don't ever remember buying fuel on a UK motorway. Even if I did, it would be unlikely to be more than the 37.5 litres a year required to break even for the cost of the card.

I don't remember the last time I stopped for fuel on a motorway.  My car can do at least 300+ miles when the tank is full and Im towing.  I am not likely to want to fill up during a journey, so I just fill up at a cheap fuel station before starting out.

I can't see me benefiting from a Shell Card.

That's probably the view of most. At best it could be said to reduce the price to somewhere near a normal independent garage and save coming off the motorway to find cheaper fuel. I plan ahead for where I can get refilled cheaply.

I've never put any fuel in on a motorway, but have a good chuckle at the prices they dare to charge.. 

You never see a queue of cars waiting to use the pumps. 

If I use a motorway fuel station it is usually when travelling North on M6. On the rare occasion that I have done so it does seem that they are not greatly favoured.
