Quit with the free advertising for Asda and Tesco!
This happens every time. No news story here.0 -
Asda is far more of a story with cutting prices than Tesco. Asda will charge the same low price but Tesco will charge whatever they can get away with in the local area.
We have no Asda petrol station near us so Tesco has no competition. The price of their fuel is normally 2-3p more expensive than the Asda in a nearby town. However in the town with the Asda the other petrol stations tend to match them so you can fill up at Esso for the same price as Asda.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
132.7 per litre for diesel?
There is a local Esso currently charging 130.9 per litre for diesel, dropping it's price by a penny after being 131.9 for a good couple weeks.
5 minutes down the road to Tesco charging 136.9 a litre.0 -
Oh wow, Asda is 0.2 pence a litre cheaper than the much nearer places again
MSE never tells us when the prices are going up0 -
Can MSE please tell us how much income through whatever channels they receive from the big supermarkets?
That is the only thing that can explain this (non) story being peddled every couple of months. As with all supermarket offers they are all just smoke and mirrors.
I do wonder if Lidl or Aldi will start to do fuel that might make things a bit more interesting.
Our Shell filling station which was always within 0p-1p of the plethora of supermarkets that surrounded it has now been shut, Tesco bought the ground from the landowner and shut it down to reopen at sometime as a Tesco............so sad and very annoying.0 -
Aargh - my evil fuel timing genius strikes again.
Ran to warning-light-on yesterday & so tanked, doing myself in the wallet *again*.
+1 for Tesco charging what they can get away with whereas Asda charge competitively, as well.0 -
I was exepcting this
I noticed last week (Wednesday I think it was) that fuel prices were increased by 1p per litre.
Strange I thought, especially at a time of falling oil prices and increasing strength of the GBP Vs the USD.
Then I thought they hadn't had their typical free monthly [STRIKE]advert[/STRIKE] press release for some time ... and then right on cue. :cool:
Fair do's though, for Diesel now at 132.7p / litre that is a drop of 1p on their previous usual price (before last week's 1p increase)0 -

MSE considers itself to be a consumer website dedicated to cutting your bills and fighting your corner with journalistic research etc
As such MSE employs a team of journalists to research & publish relevant news articles.
The big supermarkets each issue a press release and typically MSE justs publishes it (perhaps changing a few words here & there, combining them into one article, etc). Sadly that's not journalistic research, but lazy journalism, imho.0 -
