QUOTE (Sherlock @ Dec 17 2012, 07:36 AM) Tesco unleaded was 135.9p this weekend. Prices in Wiltshire were as low as 129p on Friday. Fuel retailers continue to give our MP the finger. http://www.newburyandthatchamchronicle.co....west-berkshire/Err - give US the finger you mean? What else can our MP actually do? Its over to you now - start using the alternative outlets and getting others to the same. The only reason fuel companies do this is because we let them; its called market forces. If I were you, I'd delete the strap line you added. It simply makes you and by implication, the rest of us look daft. We wouldn't have seen any such interaction with his predecessor because he didn't ever do anything!

(See other threads on this subject.) Seems it is based on local affluence and ability to pay!! Perhaps we need an ASDA!

If I can I will fill up at Reading shell with some V-Power but otherwise just use BP. I shop at Sainsburys and fill up with Ultimate.. so I get double nectar points on the fuel and also get the rewards of the shopping. Store loyalty cards are stupid in terms of what you spend vs what discount you get however if you happen to just use certain retailers it seems a bit daft to not take advantage.

QUOTE (Richard Garvie @ Dec 17 2012, 12:13 PM) It's down to the fact that we don't have a fuel discounter locally. Morrisons or ASDA typically drive lower fuel prices. Asda, in Newbury........whatever next?

It's very rewarding having a wife who works in Tesco's. She very often gets the discount vouchers from non driving customers. Only the other day, I had a 40 pence per litre saving. That was just over £20 off a £67 bill!

QUOTE (motormad @ Dec 17 2012, 04:39 PM) You buy certain products, eg packets of coffee or big bags of pasta, and get vouchers off fuel. 10p per deal item. You can stack them so a while ago my mate paid £22 for like 65 liters of fuel haha. Did he want the pasta & tea bags though......
