Am I being Fobbed off by Asda

Just because the station showed 1.279 doesnt mean this is what was charged. Quite possible they just changed the sign early.
At the end of the day its irrelevant. Asda can charge what rate they want as long as they meet their VAT liabilities. the OP could have drove past but chose to fill up just to moan.

They (they all) always do this a few days before the rise... Then afterwards they advertise "VAT beating prices" to pull in the punters.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Exactly. The price of fuel in my neck of the woods has been irratic to say the least lately! So much so that I haven't noticed any VAT, lol.A_Doonhamer wrote: »Exactly this. They can raise and lower the fuel as they please and as long they make reasonable precautions to ensure customers are aware of the current price then its there choice to buy it or not.0 -

Its the price that is displayed on the pump thats the one they have to go with. Usually new stations will be able to update both at the same time. The price on the pump is the price you pay otherwise they are breaking the law.0 -
