Asda cuts unleaded to 87.9p

THAT IS WRONG PETROLL PRICES IN ASDA ARE 113.9 TECOS ARE 115.9

Asda is not in pz, its over an hours ride away at Falmouth

I put a search in for Newport,Monmouthshire,but no petrol stations are showing,when there are dozens within 5 miles, get your search working!

With winter looming a price war can only be a benifit well short term as nobody wants to loose money. Cutting profits just a little is great..and have you seen the proffits makes me wonder how all the supermarkets claim to be the cheapest. If one of the big 4 supermarkets used its pricing talents it could clear up on sales for the next 6/12 months and when things get better....habbits continue and all those converted shoppers will stay!

I have inside information that Tesco will be knocking 20 pence per litre off fuel from May 2008.

This will be permanent too.

A month or so ago, it was announced on radio (and probably other media) that Asda were taking the first steps to reduce pump prices in a new price war. Where i live they actually dropped the price by 1p, hardly a big deal when compared to market movement, no doubt Asda trying to get media attention was the real reason.
A few weeks ago, the penny was slipped back on first by Esso then all followed. Now in the last week there have been 2 1p rises again by Esso with the others now following.
We are being taken for mugs again. The rises are quick to go on but the reductions do not follow in the same manner when market prices fall. Add to this the fact that there is another Budget in March and it begins to add up, profiteering. I have followed prices around Budget time for a few years and without fail, in the weeks before a budget, the price creeps up as it did in December with the Chancellor's rise. This is just another attempt to fleece motorists in the hope they wont notice the bigger picture as i have.

I live in St Neots, Cambs. I've always thought my local Tesco was not particular competitive on fuel (due to a lack of serious competition) but after monitoring price on your site for a few months now, I convinced they "fix" their prices. Look at Huntingdon to the North - always 2-3p cheaper; Cambridge to the East - usually 2p cheaper; Bedford to the West - usually 2p cheaper. These are all Tesco outlets! So why, if Tesco purchase bulk fuel at a bulk price are the prices at St Neots alway higher than the surounding area. In theory, Tesco fuel should be the same price at EVERY site. But I suspect its a case of "What the market will stand" policy. I've written to Tesco, but had no response - Wonder why!!

"Filling to the brim" as described is not very accurate, as the petrol feed shut off mechanism works on air pressure. I've had some pumps that simply refuse to flow and it takes ages to fill them.

If you have a car that beeps and puts a light on when it wants filling, take a note of the mileage. I usually reset the trip meter one mile further on. However long it takes me to get to a garage, I know that the amount of fuel that I put in will match that consumed at the point of the next warning.

Those of you who fill up when half-full will always be carrying around extra fuel that never gets burned. Given though that the average car weighs 1000kg, 25kg of fuel is not a significant extra amount.

As for supermarket fuel being less good than other fuels, how is this even possible? There are only seven refineries in the UK and they are all owned by BP, Shell, Texaco etc. Not one of them is owned by a supermarket.

I suspect that the driver may have an affect on the consumption by treating other fuels more delicately and going easy at traffic lights. Why do people race up to red lights anyway?

5p off a litre at Tesco finishes on 19th November. You then have 2 weeks to redeem the voucher which takes you up to 3rd December.

Tesco Extra in Stafford have started selling Super Unleaded for anyone interested. It is 87.9p/ltr. Not on this website yet but is the cheapest around.
