Plus vat

Knowing UK Fuels that will be a prospecting price and will gradually creep up towards the "National" price whilst you are not looking.

What you need is a "Platt's Plus" price.

Try Esso commercial card - we have found them consistent for the past 5 months, this week we paid 114.01 + VAT = £136.8 which is the highest it has been for 4 months

Limited sites to where you can use it, a few supermarkets ie Morrisons and Tescos... Used mine at Tesco and cost me more than if I had paid cash... Due to Tesco levying a charge to use the card... Mine is in my wallet in case of an emergency.

I'm thinking of doing the same if i'm honest

Google - platts plus pricing - It is a fair commercial way of buying your fuel.

Your Diesel Advance Diesel fuel price for week commencing 05/08/13 is 116.55 pence per litre + VAT With asda on the door step no thanks

After the initial period, they charged my mate £10.00 per card renewal and £3.00 per invoice

How do you know wether its a bunker site or not

Uk Fuels this week 138p I can pay cash at 135p. Told me they could not compete this week, swings and roundabouts.

I have found tesco to be consistantly 3ppl more than Morrisons.

Asda is at its highest its been for a while at £138.7 last week they were charging £134.9

I have it lucky really, asda and sainsburys only 2 mins down the road. Currently @£135.7

Shell only averaged 68 mpg last week on way back from Nantes.

I cant use a saver card with my fuel card. Am I the wrong natioanality??, >>>>>cries into his coffee>>>>>

7.6mpg last week :-(

7.6mpg is that a Bentley you courier in lol

I have found that UK Fuels price will start off very good & then after 5-6 weeks it will quickly jump up near the national average price. Should not really single out UK though, ALL Fuel cards do the same, after all they are in bussiness not charities, you just need to keep an eye on the weekly prices! I have 2 fuel cards UK & BE Fuels BP card, just use best price each week. But to put another spanner in the works MPG better with BP than UK independent sites & supermarkets, so it's not just down to price.

We have edc (uk fuels) coming from heavy goods the network is big enough for my needs ths weeks price is 114.44 ex vat which is the same as asds and tesco localy

What are you driving a 50cc moped?

We had UK Fuels and would never ever use them again. But then that was just our experience, no doubt others would not use who we currently use.

I would never use UK fuels again they promise fuel will be cheaper it's codymuck

I've got a UK fuels card, I was using for about 2 months, the price started at £110.9pl then gradually went up to 119.9pl. Now I've nit used it for about 3 weeks and now its gone back down to 110.9. So my thoughts are, the more you use it, more price you have to pay per litre, shocking

Or if you have a smart phone you can download the "What Gas" app and it will show you the cheapest station for your deisel wherever you are in the country.

Dont miss paying an invoice!!!!!!!!! Charge you £75. Yes £75.

Had uk fuel card for BP nr me price was always 2p cheaper than local till this week. Text Friday said £122.85 + vat. (£1.4742) Local BP is £1.379 Rang thinking it was a typo but it wasn't. Their reply was you don't have to use it!

Esso commercial Platts Plus Card this week 110.59 + VAT - +0.5 ppl at motorway sites... And clubcard points..

Any shell garage v power diesel or bp, pump price, I can't be bothered with fuel cards trying to save you a few pence here and their.

We have found the best strategy is to have 2 cards that share the same network but one is a fixed price and one is pump price.

This way you can just use the same garages all the time and just use which ever card is cheaper.
