Get whatever fuel I want when I want and as it's after Tax I don't pay any bloody FBT!! WIN WIN as far as I'm concerned!!!!!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I also have motorpass, why limit yourself to one supplier. I also prefer BP Ulitmate as Opticrap puts soot all over the back of my car , Mobile charge 11c p/l more for 98 RON and there is no caltex nearby

Does it work just like a credit card?

They also give you full tax compliance invoices, so you do not need to keep the receipts There is also a card called a Fleet Card that does the same.

Yep, that's the one I've got..........works everywhere I've been to except BP, and I've also got a BP card.

I am wondering if it would be bad to use premium (avail everywhere) and an octane booster? is using these all the time bad? do they clog up after heaps of use?I figured it would be better than getting reamed of $1.20/L + on a regular basis..cheers

Buying the 95RON and putting octaine booster in would cost much more than the few cents p/l extra they charge for the 98RON.

Although we have Caltex servo's here none of them have premium fuels. Also on the way up the middle (Stuart Highway) there are plenty of BP's, and all have at least 95RON. We drove from Darwin to Cairns last year and got all the way without having to use 'standard' unleaded.Watch out for the cost though! I run my Ute on Ultimate and it costs $1.35/L here!
Guest Guests Posted 20/07/05 04:49 PM Posted 20/07/05 04:49 PM How about MOTORCHARGE,I'm not sure if MOTORCHARGE and MOTORPASS are the same, but I've been running a MotorCharge card now for approximately 14months, its never been knocked back at any service station.The added benefit to MotorCharge (if its leased though such groups as SMB Novalease) is that not only fuels are covered, but oils, additives, and if your lucky enough to find a workshop that services FLEET vehicles they too will accept this card. Just like Autotech Engineering Feel free to PM me for information.Darren
