    I wish people would boycott Tesco petrol.

    Tesco across Cardiff has been 92.9 for a while now, whilst all other supermarkets have been 91.9 and are now moving down to 90.9.

    Tesco Pontypridd* is 95.9 inline with the brandname competitors nearby, ESSO , etc Tesco Pontypridd has no supermarket competitors (thanks to the Welsh Assembly overruling a new Morrisons store on a brownfield site nearby). However less than 3 miles from Tesco Pontypridd is an independant/brandname @ 91.9p Tesco Pontypridd used to flout their tesco petrol price promise with regards to this garage in the past. Then of course Tesco did the honourable thing (if you could call it that) as they clearly had no intention of keeping their promise to match the petrol prices of their neighbours they quietly ditched the petrol price promise.

    *Pontypridd is 7 miles from Cardiff 5 miles from Caerphilly where the price is 90.9

    So come on people why are you supporting the devil? Why support the supermarket whose only interest is to keep prices high & not match its competitors?

    Vote with your wheels and avoid Tesco

    A bit pointless really. People fall into two main groups: those who buy for convenience and don't really care about the price. They are not going to boycott anything - they are far too dozy for that.

    And those who shop on price. They will already be 'boycotting' Tesco where Tesco are more expensive.

    So who's left?
