Its the tax on top of it though.
And the tax is a percentage, so as oil prices increase the amount of tax we pay increases.

im assuming they wont give out cards for a while.
I dont know for definate, but i guess once they have enough members signed up (say a few thousand, few hundred thousand ) they approach one of the mahor fuel suppliers and tell them they have x amount of people ready to buy their fuel each week so long as they're given a few pence discount

Care to explain exactly what the tax thing is there for? Over 50% is reported to go on non motor related expenditure.
