I use FuelGenie.  www.fuelgenie.co.uk

Excelent!!  no need to worry saving or losing reciepts anymore, everything on one montly bill, my lads have a card in there name so just fill up when they need to. It used to be a real pain but now so simple.
No extra cost involved either which makes a nice change.

No dont use fuel cards as prefer to pay and go without an extra bill coming in at end of month. And you dont save that much in the end so its not for me.

We have just applied for a deisel direct card, but we have to pay £500 deposit as the business down here in Essex hasn't been established for 3 years.

Matt you would be better off putting your £500 on a top up credit card and gain points for using it and there are no restrictions where you use it

I get 5% off my fuel... all i have to do is spend £50 or more at Sainsburys every 2 weeks .... i spend double that in a week !

Also every now and then i get a 5p off a litre come through with the receipt (have ours delivered)... go fill up the van and take the jerry cans with me !

Probably spend around £160 a month on fuel for work. My wife is collecting her mini from the dealers next week, so that will double up.

I reckon i'll spend £3500 on fuel in the next 12 months.. i'll save over £200-£300 by just going to Sainsburys   ;D
