    You can't guarantee that. Unless you walk in the kiosk before filling up and ask "will you turn your blind eye?" If you just fill up 100 litres into 2 cars and you go to the kiosk and they say "Sorry can't accept these this time as you filled two cars, that will be £140 please" You're stuffed, you get your vouchers back but you have both your cars full.

    Managing to buy the whole 100 litres in one sale is a bit unlikely.

    Most tanks hold 40 to 65 litres and not all will become empty in the next couple of weeks, and in theory filling extra cans is restricted to 5 or 10 litres, though perhaps someone can get away with not being noticed with one at 20 litres.

    So some people might foresee only buying £20 worth of fuel and saving £7. If the vouchers go for £10 or £15 they are better off

    I'm a bit surprised that quite a few vendors already have 10 vouchers for sale. Are Tesco staff on the tills allowed to have the vouchers if the customer declines as they don't have a car?


    I managed to get 83l into my own tank (80l) and filled up 4 cans last night; total 102l.

    We don't have the biggest tanks on there either.

    Doesn't mean that most tanks are not 40 - 60 l
    most small cars will be 45 l

    Some of those ebay sellers have sold about 300 vouchers at least. london ticket master, hot pimp ax

    It's still the same basic price approximately £12 per 10 vouchers
    Unless you see the retard who bought 10 for £100 + £2.99 postage.

    I think a lot come from light fingered staff.

    The sellers will have had good training then on how to shift stock reaching its sell by date!

    Look out for heavy price drops as december 4th approaches!

    Boxes of them for the online shopping orders? Strange that they also don't print the online ones out at an 'online shopping till' thus they would then stop the stealing because the staff member would be linked to the order and traced.
