Surely Tesco pricematch their petrol price. This used to be the case - has the policy changed and I am unaware of it?

I know of one Tesco that wasn't allowed to undercut their cheapest rival. It's a small town and it was the only way they were going to be allowed to get a petrol station.

We have 5 petrol stations in our town and Tesco has always been 1p more expensive than the cheapest in the last 3 years I have been. I still pay this as I get 4x with clubcard points so worth the extra. Morrisons always the cheapest by a penny so Tesco are def not price matching.

Recently even the 'expensive' garage usually 4+p more expensive than the others is the same as Tesco

I dream of prices like that. Up here in the Highlands its £1.29 a litre

I agree..around Cambridge 1.20per/litre is considered good value.

Spot on.

Crafty barstweards they are and you have to be one step ahead and try and remember what everything you buy roughly costs. For example, two weeks ago I bought a couple of cans of Bacardi and Coke, only costs a £1 a can and for as often as I drink it seemed a good deal. On walking past the isle this week I see they are on offer. Ill stock up! I think.....

• 
  Bacardi And Cola Single Can
  
  Any 2 for £3.00valid from 12/5/2010 until 1/6/2010
  
  
  
  
  
  £1.78

Bargain! NOT.

They are not exactly overcharging are they, all they are doing is charging more than other outlets, if they was overcharging they would be charging you more than it is advertised for.
