Tesco petrol & diesel 5p per litre off starts Monday 31 August - £50 spend

my local tesco use to be cheapest fuel around but not lately currently 106.9 just filled up at an asda for 102.9 so a £50 spend is only a 1p/litre discount for me.....still hot deal but your really have to what fuel prices

JPS

All the supermarkets can easily afford to do this now and make themeselves look really good by offering these "fantastic" discounts.....truth of the matter is, they shouldn't have the extra 5p on the price in the first place. Rip off petrol prices have to be accepted by everyone and there is not much we can really do - and they know that!

With you on that, which is where http://www.petrolprices.com/ comes in handy.

For me, the points picked up using a Clubcard Plus card usually makes Tesco fuel easily the best value, because they tend to be much in line with all the other prices round here. The 5p per litre is an added bonus, but the downside is that it means shopping in Tesco, which is a deeply unpleasant experience in our local store.

agree with above comments, but if we didnt have such a greedy goverment the fuel prices would be lower. If oil was $0 a barrel it would still cost us about 70p a litre with the fuel tax! Another 2p rise to come Tuesday aswell.

Tax isn't just spent by a government somehow on itself. It goes to pay for things like education and the health service.

Just out of curiosity, how would you propose making up the gap in revenues if it isn't charged on fuel?

maybe less borrowing, not nationalising all these banks. less immigrants. theres plenty of things many of which im sure you wouldnt like so wont bore you.

Except, of course, that lower fuel tax would mean more borrowing, not less. And if the banks hadn't been taken over by the government, the entire economic structure of the country would have collapsed.

You could increase VAT to 20% of course, but that's probably going to happen anyway, whoever wins the next election.

So you agree with the stupid amount of tax we have to pay on fuel?

At least pretty much everybody has to pay it, including people claiming benefits!

No - I don't like paying it. Who does? But if the tax on fuel is reduced, you have to find the money for things like health and education from somewhere else. It's that simple. Where do you get it from? Higher income tax? Higher VAT? VAT on food?

Good point - and the ones who cheat on their car tax too.

They should make the offer save 30p of a litre of fuel to actually make a difference to the way to expensive price
Just more money going to MP's new cars

Sorry m8 but you only need to spend £40 at Morrisons for a 5p discount.

DarkKnight

If people want cheaper fuel prices, which should include everyone
then everyone needs to not be bending over and accepting it, but to protest and be hard to the government, they will be forced to lower prices to almost any price
Works in other countries so it's the only way to stop this government greed
