anyone see that in the news, a guy in stirling doing petrol @ 35p, all you need to do is pay 100 notes up front to join his club!

sounds too good to be true! :p

but if customs stops him then it is £100 down the drain.

There's a terrific thread on Martin Ledwis's Money Saving Expert web site forums.

It seems this Jim MacDonald guy (who featured on this BBC news report (http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6510000/newsid_6512600/6512633.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm))has spent some time in one of Her Majesty's secure buildings - as reported in this article in The Herald (http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/transport/display.var.1296536.0.cheapest_petrol_in_britain_s parks_inquiry.php).

I'm an optimistic sceptic. I'd love it to be true, but can't see it lasting beyond a couple of months and HMCE will find a way to stop them.

There is also a web site for MVPA which has been made up as a joke by someone with waaaaay too much time on their hands. fake MVPA web site (http://uk.geocities.com/mvpauk/)

I saw that on the news last night. Tempted to go to Stirling with lots of big gerry cans and fill them up.

Their conditions of sale forbid that. You can only fill up a vehicle that is registered with them. No gerry cans!:( More's the pity.;)

Let's just say, IF you become a member, you COULD be left with a nice big Customs and Excise bill at the end of the year...

Too good to be true... YES. ;)
