Having driven a 3.2 with a seamless LPG integration (not mine!) you don't know what its running on LPG or Petrol.

But you notice the difference at the pump when its 69p litre

Bet you TB can 

It was only about 30ppl when i started buying LPG.....and unleaded/diesel hasnt more than doubled in price in the same time span....just goes to show, as its become more popular, how much more tax its attracted

  At only 10p off per litre only if you have already spent £60.00 in the shop doesn't seem to be much of a saving at all. You would need to do full tank! Considering that the majority of weekly shops by regular customers, according to their own stats, is around the £40.00 mark then the offer is aimed at those who do one giant shop per visit. Most of their customers then by their own stats make a few shopping trips a week and so would be excluded from the offer.
Nice try Sainsbury........but I for one will not fall into that trap. You can also pretty well guarantee that they had already put up the prices of the more regularly bought items to compensate for any loss they might otherwise encounter by this offer. Their marketing teams are not as daft as that or logically they would simply go bust.
As for the LPG option....what good is that when the fillionmg points are so rare, far apart, or even non-existent in many areas? At least petrol and deisel are readily available and it keeps the old girl as she was originally designed to be fed!

I've been running LPG cars for about 7 years now and very rarely do I struggle to find LPG for filling up, anywhere in Europe

But, if you do run out there's still petrol to run on as a back up

Yep, I was paying about 27ppl at expensive garages when I got my first one

Mind you, although it's gone up more it doesn't seem to have reduced the saving in the last 3 years

What I mean is petrol/diesel has gone up by the same amount, just not the same percentage

Never once been not able to find LPG when I need it, although 9/10 I always fill up at Asda High Wycombe as its so cheap. Often pass by on my way home, so fill up when its low.

Within 5 miles of my London flat there are 2 stations, that do LPG 

At my parents there is one within 1/2 mile & another several others around 10 miles away

Its the old saying.....you dont get owt for nowt......so i will stick with asda....

Of course you'd do a full tank if you have a ?pence/litre off .... you'd be daft not to, and that, on an Omega is giving you over 10% off your £60 shop. By & large, our shop is for just the two of us, & £60 is no problem, not sure where your £40 shop comes from - that would barely cover the bottom of a trolly.
Can't see a trap either ....... if you only have so much to spend each week/month, all the offer is doing is encouraging you to spend it in £6o lumps at Sainsbury

Asda is £1.28.7 a litre, but I'll save a lot more than you paying Sainsbury prices.

Nope. The local BP. Next nearest is Bicester, about 14-16m (depending on route - other side of town centre), and 15m to Pottersbury. Then the BP on northbound A34, and the 2 at Jnc15a on M1.

All that said, never really found it a problem, and there is always petrol if it is.


As to LPG prices and tax, yes, tax is increasing, but I think the LPG prices are more governed by gas prices. Look at the price of LPG heating gas (taxed at 5% I believe) this time of year. Same as heating oil.

There is only 2 of us, and the bloody moggie, here, and Mrs TB reckons our (Tesco - nought else around here) weekly shop is £100.

Not really his £40 figure is it, when he stated its Sainsbury's own stats 

Not everyone uses a trolley when shopping, 9/10 I use a basket
