Anybody heard of this?
Marmalade Car Club provides a range of motoring related benefits and has developed a fuel card system to help members save money.
Fuel cards have been available for many years mostly to commerce to supply fuel at the pump and then pay for it a few days later at a pre-agreed price. Marmalade has now brought this convenience to members in the private motorist market.
Every Sunday the fuel card price is posted on the web and this price is then fixed for the next seven days, giving the member the choice to use the fuel card to fill up their car or pay the pump price with cash or credit card.
Savings depend upon location and local conditions but these can be as much as 7p per litre on trunk roads and motorway services.
How the scheme works
Members select the fuel card account from BP, Texaco or Total that best suits their individual circumstances. Additional cards are available for other family members and cards come with added PIN security.
Every Sunday, the price of the fuel supplied for the following 7 days, is posted on the web. At the end of each week an e-bill is sent to the member detailing the fuel drawn and the cost of the fuel is paid by direct debit 10 days later.
Benefits
Savings of up to 6p per litre
Simplicity
Fuel costs are known in advance
No minimum volumes
Cards available for all family members
Detailed usage bills

I've found the catch, it's not that cheap 
Well, it depends on your area, prices near me seem to be on the lower end of the national scale. While the card does offer a saving of 2p a litre on my local Texaco, it's still more expensive than the nearest Sainsburys. I guess the week's credit could be useful on occasion mind.
