Count me in on this one. Excellent idea and thanks for taking the time to sort it out.
It is only worthwhile of course if the issuing company has a fuel station near enough to the member. Travelling further to fill up may cancel out the savings - although the other benefits may still make it worthwhile.

We use a texaco fuel card mainly for the club card points.
But if there is saving to be made on fuel you can count me in.
Hi Phil,
We currently use fuelcards and most of the 'benefits' mentioned above are very worthwhile. For me just the reduced admin and increased accountability from my guys makes it a no brainer.
Most Fuelcard companies offer either card 'tied' to particular chain or ones that work across multiple brands (inc Supermarket stations). As a rule, each business can select their preferred type of card.
We currently use FastFuel from Texaco as they have most stations in our area of operation. The Fuel card companies also operate Website to allow you to enquire on 'nearest' garage etc as well as a map book (going out of fashion....)
We would be happy to consider swapping to The "LJN" card.
If anyone wants to fire any questions to someone that currently uses one, feel free to contact me...
Thanks for the feedback so far.
I've spoken to two companies so far and the second (the manager I spoke to today is a contact of Robin Ainsworth) although the first company have been pretty useless to deal with if I'm honest.
They are putting together a package for LJN and with a bit of luck, I should know a little more this afternoon.
Gary (Acer) I would hope this is set up within a month.

yes im interested been looking at some recently but at the minute im currently not using enough to warrant a fuel card as you generally have to buy a fuel card
well done phil for sorting out a LJN fuel card look forward to hearing more
Nic not always the case - so don't discount them
We did not 'buy' our cards, nor do we pay monthly fees.
You don't 'have' to travel further, but it does make you more organised about filling up vehicles and fuel cans etc.

The point I raised in my first post is that all the companies we spoke to offered the range of: Shell, Esso, Texaco/Murco, BP & suppermarket etc brand fuelcards. They looked at our spend & locatio n and suggested to US to use Texaco. So, as a customer of the FuelCard company YOU can chose which card suits your needs and location.
The 'features' of each card do differ in terms of discount offered, min spend (ours has none) or monthly charge (which gives you the best fuel price/discount)...
