I had this link sent to me from a friend,
http://www.pipelinecard.org/ anyone else seen it?
It appears genuine and anything that saves me a few pence per litre for no
additional cost to me would be welcome

They were talking about this on the Jeremy Vine show on Friday. It is
genuine and seems to be a good idea.

Update e-mail sent to me as of the 16/03/06


Top Gear's Richard Hammond has joined the list of Pipeline supporters by
signing up and giving us a full page write-up in his Mirror column (now
listed on the media page) Thanks Richard!

The emails are still coming in thick and fast, asking if we can use
Pipeline's purchasing power to get better deals on other products like
heating oil, gas or even car insurance. For those who wrote in about oil, we
are making progress and will write to you individually in a few days. It's
looking good!

Gas is a deserving case, with all the recent price rises, but very tricky -
and we don't really want to spend too much time on things that have nothing
to do with petrol or motoring. Still, have a look at this new page on our
website (http://www.pipelinecard.org/gande.html) and see what you think.

We have also had some thoughts about ways of saving money on car insurance
and breakdown insurance. But don't expect a page full of ads and special
offers. That's not what we do. Check out
http://www.pipelinecard.org/insurance.html and
http://www.pipelinecard.org/breakdown.html and you will see what I mean.

The other big question that many of you are asking is "how are the
negotiations with our retail partner going and when am I going to get my
card?" The short answer is, it's all moving ahead, but not as quickly as we
would like. Wheels move slowly in large organisations and our membership has
clearly grown faster than they were expecting. We are keeping the pressure
on and we are still hoping to have some good news for you in May or June.

Can you tell us what retailer you are gunning for please, as I signed up
member Im hoping its Esso. I really hope its not BP as they are the most
expensive (about 4p dearer than the others) here in North Oxfordshire.

Cheers

Sent this round work today, and some sent it on to others. I reckon at
least 20 people must have signed up.

Also sent round link to www.petrolprices.com. If anyone here isn't using
it, they should. It saves me at least 1p/litre every time I fill up.

Thing is, its all relative. I can save 1p a litre by making a 24 mile
round trip, as opposed to filling up at my local garage (1 mile away),
its just that travelling to the cheaper place costs more than the
saving unless I am in that area and passing by the cheapest place.

Sure, understood. The website send me an email twice a week with the 5
cheapest stations within about 3 miles of my postcode. Two I never pass in
a normal week, one is a mile detour and the other two are options on my way
to work. Works for me. No-one in their right mind would do a 12-mile
detour to save 1p/litre.

I tend to check their latest email when I am due to fill up and then plan
the next journey to work to include the best price. It's worked every time
so far.

Still times out here. bollocks to it.

nslookup finds it so it's not timing out at the DNS stage, typing the number
into the browser still produces a timeout.

Hmm, so that's about 70p or so saved per tank. Hardly seems worth
worrying about! You could get that by driving efficiently, removing
everything you don't need from the car, losing some weight and driving
naked.

Sounding more worth it now actually.

So if Gordie puts another penny on fuel in his next budget you won't mind?
"Hardly seems worth worrying about!" In the great scheme of things, maybe
not, but "every little helps". And since it costs exactly nothing to get
the emails, what's the problem? As I said, it works for me. If you don't
want to bother, don't bother.

wonder WTF is wrong with it here then? still won't go this morning. The
odd thing is that it's a time-out, not a "can't find", so I don't think, for
example, that it's a DNS problem.

Me to... Austin have you tried a different browser? Though I don't think
the site is trying to be "clever", as those sort of things normally fail
on my odd ball system.

Tried, ping and/or traceroute etc?

Ping fails (fairly common now as many routers drop the packets) and
traceroute gives up after:

20 tele2-gw4.telewest.net (194.117.136.197) 70 ms 94 ms 54 ms
21 83.245.126.22 (83.245.126.22) 71 ms 70 ms 102 ms
