Title: Asda & LPG
Post by: tunnie on 25 April 2010, 09:40:36
A request for anyone who has an Asda near them, do you know if they sell LPG?

Asda are by far the cheapest supplier, but having trouble working out which stores have it and which don't. Their website just lists that is has a petrol station which is handy, best way i found is getting on Google Street view to look at the stations!

Did try calling one at Nottingham, but the dozy women replied. "L......P.....G, er whats that?" Took about 10 mins on hold before i got to someone who said, " we sell petrol mate, thats what petrol stations sell"  ::)

Done some searching around, for a list, but not much luck!

We have an Asda, which I use, no gas there.
It's a pay at pump, card only.
There's another about 5 miles away, not sure whether they do gas, nearest is around 2-3 miles away, Shell on the Derby ring road.

Edit.....
Yes they do, according to this http://www.getlpg.org.uk/ after a search, thanks to Radiomarko :y it's on Derby road, Spondon (Asda) again just off Derby ring road :y

Hope it helps if you're in the area ;)

IIRCC the Asda near the M4/M5 junction does LPG... As does the Morrisons, the Shell and the BP ::)

Our Asda doesn't have a petrol station, shame as they're the cheapest in Canterbury (I think).

call asda head office and ask for a list.  Quick look round oxon/bucks/northants, its only Wycombe.

Strange you should bring this up now Tunnie, because my local ASDA has had the gas pumps locked up for over 2 weeks now!!!! :o The excuse is 'we have a software problem'??????
I hope beggars sort it out before I do my conversion ;D :y

Post by: tunnie on 25 April 2010, 19:47:26
only software would be between pump at the tills?  :-/

My other cheaper garage locally was also out of order, had to use sodding BP!  >:(

personally i found the tomtom poi's, based on those links to be missleading out of date and suspiciosly inflated in numbers.

Google seems more usefull tbh.

No Asda near us has lpg unfortunately. Need to check Asda in Slough.

There is a BP near us thats cheapest around in Three mile cross, near m4 jnc11. Seems to be a differant franchise to the usually pricier and posher BP's. They also do a loyalty card, the more visits the cheaper the fuel, got almost a fiver off last time. Not all BP's do it, so must be differant franchise.

Looked at CountryWide, they wanted 64p, which is nothing amazing and had to be debit card payments only

Country Wide are normally pretty competitive, or so I thought, but not in this area at all... I must admit, I nearly opened an account with them last year for whilst we were in Newent

Decided not to open account myself as Asda was cheaper, however been caught short couple of times now, Towcester pumps were dead leaving just BP, think might open account just to give few extra stations when needed
