Who's interested in a French Air Total card?
I've been in touch with Air Total in France concerning getting an Air Total card to use in their 50 self-service AVGAS stations. One of the questions I was asked was
So, come one everybody - let's have a quick show of hands.
Do you know of any other pilots who go to France and would be interested in using the self-service AVGAS stations?

I asked for one, from my mate Simon Fage who is responsible for them, and was turned down, even though we are mates, because I don't have French bank account.

What are the advantages of such a piece of French plastic ?
Don't most places in France take Visa/M'cards ? I don't recall ever having a problem in my travels over the years.
N.B. this is a genuine query not a bit of "Frog Bashing"!

cambioso, the trouble is that the card is frequently required to start the fuel pump. If you land at a French a/p when the refueller is not there you may have something of a wait ahead

On the way back we had to pop into Le Touquet for fuel as the Freanch Air Force were closed for the weekend. They refused our Amex card so we hunted around and I finally had to get out my Access (as it was in those days).
We loaded just enough to get to Manston - it still cost over £400, but I made a little 'cos the accountants in SHQ were using a different exchange rate...
Now I'd carry everything if I could
Dollars
Euros
MC
Visa
Air BP carnet
Total carnet
Elf carnet
Shell
CEPSA
Aerofina
etc
