I never use super market fuel....always use shell v.power...far better fuel but more expensive but i.m.o.without getting into a fuel debate......well worth it.....

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Way back in the mists of time I used to 'borrow' petrol from our next door neighbour. He was a bastard and owned  a 1967 Austin 1100 so I don't feel guilty even now.

Petrol was something like 75p a gallon back then (1976-77)

How much shopping spend do you need to do to get them sort of discounts though?

Think its 2p off every litre for £50 you spend!

So doing the numbers, and assuming you can buy up to 100 litres -

Tesco £2 Off for £50 spend - 4% Discount
Sainbury's £6 Off for £20 spend - 30% Discount, plus you get to keep your Nectar points.

Thats not a bad deal, shame no local sainsbury's fuel pumps.

Unless there are big discounts I try to avoid Tesco.

Local Jet station..........127.9

Local Tesco................131.9

Me too

Local shell station used today ........1.27.9

local Azda (100 yards up tit road from Shell)  ........126.9

I normally go M11 then A12 to get to most places in Central or South London, so if juice is needed I do a slight detour to Sainsbury's Beckton (Junc A406 / A13). Which is also the cheapest place in London for LPG.

But saying that, adverts mention "get 20p off litre" but local tesco garage guy said maximum you can save upto is 8p off every litre. Which is valid until end of the following month.

He's wrong. It is a maximum of 20p off per litre. Whether you use pay at pump or in the kiosk, when you scan your Clubcard, it adjusts the price per litre automatically. I paid £1.07 a litre when I filled up recently at pay at the pump.

So does that mean after £500 of shopping you get 20p of litre
So for argument if someone fills up 100 litres = saving of £20
compared to shell which gives £2.50 off every 500 points collected (1 point for every litre filled)
Tesco deal doesnt seem that bad after all.
