The story behind Fuelclub.eu

Hi, my name is Jens,

A few weeks ago I was on the way to work. I live in Germany, I have a VW Passat and drive 50,000 KM per year, so I unfortunately have to visit the local Shell or Aral station quite frequently.

This morning I noticed they – AGAIN – had increased the price. Reaching 1.33 EUR / ltr diesel. The station manager told me increase of taxes, war in Iraq, local costs etc… were the reason – the same story we seem to hear every time the price on fuel go up.

Same day I saw in the newspaper that Shell had announced a major record breaking profit/loss result for 2007!!

I looked into other fuel companies, and all of them seem to make more profit than ever these years. And who is paying? I am – you are – WE are!! All the private and small companies, that don’t have any great discount rates and that, have to fight the fuel companies alone.

We simply don’t have a chance.

I picked up the phone, called a few friends, and the idea was born. Let us form a club of all fuel customers in the entire EU, and then we can start squeezing the big fuel companies. It is only fair we get some of that profit; prices are high enough as they are today. We want the prices reduced.

So, we launched the site, and have had many positive responses. We are confident it will be a great success for all us small consumers.

In the hope of everybody will support our club and make it successfull

Welcome to our community
