Tescos Wellingborough - £1.379
Tescos Kettering - £1.329

[Sir Tigger KC]

I went to Tescos yesterday bought diesel at £142.9, went round the corner and the local Esso was £140.9..... 

[Seth]

130.9p for diesel here!

[Rods2]

Ok, on today's travels .......

Tesco Nottingham - Diesel 143.9p per litre
Tesco Stafford     - Diesel 138.9p per litre

Now unless they lowered the price within the hour or so it took me to do the journey then why would there be that difference between two outlets of the same company?

Tesco admitted in a BBC TV interview when asked why Tesco Sandhurst was the most expensive outlet for their fuel in the UK. Their answer: It depends upon how many local filling stations they have wiped out the competition in the area. If there still is local competition they they will price their fuel competitively. If there is now little competition, like where I live, they will price as high as they can get away with, was the essence of their answer. 

This is why I always use the local Shell garage in Sandhurst as it is the nearest left in their catchment area. Use it or lose it. 

Remember: Every little local monopoly helps their shareholders.

I filled up at Tesco Stockton £1:38.9 at Lunch Time, on the news at Tea Time it was announced that all the big supermarkets were going to drop their prices by 2ppl typical..........

I used to serve petrol at a small garage (in the late 1970s) where the garage owner would calculate the price each time a new tanker load was delivered.

He would then have to wait until we shut (at 7pm) before sending someone up a ladder to change the prices on the sign board and go round the pumps to change the prices.

I suspect that a lot of independent garages only change the price when they get the invoice for a new delivery.

I use the internet for weekly updates in my area.....(.petrol prices .com ) and i put in my post code and then every week they send me local petrol prices for my area.So i dont have to get off my backside  to find out.....simples as the man said. :

Tesco price at the local area price,tesco normal unleaded is ruggish omegas run like bag a nails on the stuff as it contains a lot of bio-additives to make it cheaper so they make more profit,its basically watered,down to the limit to scrape thro the BS standard,but the 99 stuff is good.
 
 Tesco not always cheapest for fuel,in huntingdon the shell garage is normally a penny cheaper,unless tesco are doing the 5p off lark.

In Lincoln this morning Diesel was 136.9 ppl ............

[Sir Tigger KC]

Crude oil dropped by just over $10 last week so pump prices should eventually dip a bit... 

[biggriffin]

Seems to me to get cheap fuel in an area there needs to be an asda or Morrisons as there fuel seems to be the cheapest.

As a retired driver i find a price drop of a couple of pence per litre doesn,t make much difference.
But i do feel for folks who rely on fuel for their living.
