    How many points do you get? What's the value of a point?

    You can get 1p off a litre at Asda when paying by special Asda credit card (deducted from pump price so no waiting/collecting)

    5 points per litre?! Is this just your store or a nationwide thing because I can't see any trace of that on their website!

    Oh wow... DId you really just say that?

    100.9 - 99.9 = 1.0 not 0.9

    Whoops, my bad.....

    That extra 0.1p makes all the difference!!!

    GO TESCO!!!!!

    I think that the real news here, is the fact that at long last, the price differential between diesel and petrol has disappeared. When I first bought a diesel, the price of the fuel was cheaper than petrol. I expect it will rise again as the sales of heating oil pick up in the autumn. But in the meantime, I for one, am grateful for a little relief in my wallet.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    A fuel fact.

    Buying fuel from supermarkets is a false economy. I ran my diesel Astra on supermarket fuel for 2 months and averaged 47.8 mpg, I then ran it for 3 months on branded fuel (in this case, Shell), and averaged 56.2 mpg. Thats about a 12% difference. So to be a cheaper alternative, the supermarket fuels need to be at least 13p/litre cheaper.

    It would be interesting to see the data if you have it available? I always wonder whether supermarket fuel is different but I've heard that the additive mix is the only difference between them.
