They're all at it. www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/252217/Gearing-up-for-fuel-price-war/ Motorists can get 12p off a litre of petrol or diesel at Morrisons from tomorrow – if they spend £60 in store. Tesco says its customers will be left “feeling flush” thanks to its new promotion. Shoppers who buy two nine packs of Andrex toilet roll (£4 each) in store or online from tomorrow will get a voucher offering a 10p per litre saving. In a separate deal Tesco is offering a 5p a litre price cut to people who spend more than £50 in store or online. Sainsbury’s also got into the act last night – announcing a move to slash prices by up to 3p per litre at all of its 266 forecourts across the UK. From tomorrow it is also offering a coupon cutting the cost by another 5p when punters spend £50 in store Reply to this message | Report message

Super unleaded is around 142p in my area at present, down from 148p (139p at Sainsburys in Preston) and I also get 4p a litre off at a Texaco garage by using a voucher given with previous purchases.

>> Won't it go up as people shift their money into commodities? The price of any commodity will move primarily on the basis of supply and demand. If people think that the world economy is heading into recession, then they will expect demand for oil to fall, and so the price will fall. Note how the price of oil fell heavily along with stocks in 2008. The same for industrial metals such as copper. Precious metals can act slightly differently, upon depending how much they are used in industry and how much they are used as a currency hedge.

This line becomes more difficult to maintain as the nippers follow each other in apparently unending succession. It's great not having to wipe their bums and comfort them when they are skriking though.

For all my apparent miserliness, I have to admit that although I often find myself at Tesco with a voucher in my pocket, I can't be doing with queuing at a "normal pump" and actually going into the hut to queue again, so I ignore the voucher and use the pay and go pumps, which are nearly always empty. Probably costs me £2 a time to do that. Bad, especially since in reality I'd be sending Mrs C in to do the queuing anyway.

Market report on R4 this morning said crude was creeping up again. OTOH short term forecourt cost changes can be driven by 'spot price' of refined product.

The exchange rate with the dollar has as much influence as the crude price. In April and May 1 USD was 61-62p; recently it's been 64-65p. Enough to explain a penny or two on a litre. Reply to this message | Report message

If I hadn't filled up recently this could have saved a bit. But to save the full 50p litre I'd buy products I'd normally get cheaper alternatives too.... so unless it's a full tank maybe it won't save so much... But this thread should perhaps be a generic thread rather than the original. I am sure there are bargains every now and then. Now if I combined this offer with the £5 off a £40 shop maybe it's worth it.... but I won't use enough fuel to make it worthwhile. Complicated by a reimbursable fuel card which determines when it is best for me to fill up ;-) Last edited by: rtj70 on Mon 23 Jul 12 at 17:48 Reply to this message | Report message

We looked at the Sainsbury money off scheme (toiletries one) and all the things on it could be bought for much less elsewhere. As our Panda only hold 35 litres when absolutely empty, (we normally only put in, at the most, around 20-25 litres, as SWMBO is a pathological worrier about running out) we calculated that the extra cost of the goods could not be offset against the potential petrol savings!

>>•A Fuel Coupon entitles a customer to 10p off per litre of each full litre of fuel to the maximum amount of 100 litres per single transaction<< It's actually £50 if you can manage to fill up with a maximum 100Litres and no I don't. On principal I refuse to pay an inflated price for groceries to get money off fuel that won't fir into my almost full 90 litre fuel tank and won't be used before the expiry date. The coupons will have a short expiry date, they always do and Tesco fully realise this, they also know a lot of people won't realise until they are presented with the coupons at the check out after paying for the goods. If more people refused to be lured into spending on expensive brands to obtain money off something full us, then Tesco couldn't afford to do it. Pat Reply to this message | Report message

Not if I don't normally buy orange juice and I can't fit the equivalent amount of fuel in my tank before the expiry date.

If Wotspur has two vehicles to fill he'll need two sets of vouchers, so two separate shopping trips - and an awful lot of bogroll. Whether these schemes work for you is simple maths: work out the extra you spend on groceries and subtract the fuel saving. We don't buy things we wouldn't otherwise have, but we do occasionally bring forward purchases of stuff we'd eventually buy anyway. We're regular Tesco shoppers anyway, so it doesn't change our habits that much. Reply to this message | Report message

Is there a maximum quantity on these offers? Because given that an independent retailer purportedly earns 2p per litre on petrol there ought to be an opportunity for redistribution here. Last edited by: No FM2R on Thu 2 Aug 12 at 21:47 Reply to this message | Report message

I think the question was perhaps how many vouchers can you use. You get up to 50p off per litre for the single transaction. So if you needed 70 litres that's a useful £35 off. But it assumes you need the items purchased in the first place. If the question was how many items can you purchase then there probably is a limit for a visit. But go more than once. There is a time limit on when the fuel voucher can be used - about 2 weeks. So if you've only one car you'll not fill it up to full more than once probably. We do eat Special K in this house so a no brainer to buy two boxes of that and get 10p/litre off the next fill-up. Looking at the other items, the cat food ours wouldn't eat and it's £13. We drink Yorkshire loose leaf tea. Use cheaper toilet rolls and dishwasher tablets. Last edited by: rtj70 on Fri 3 Aug 12 at 13:57 Reply to this message | Report message

I always seem to get stuck behind the mean spirited twonks at check outs and tills who have discount vouchers. With effort I usually manage to resist bludgeoning them to death while they rake about in their grubby little change purses, totally oblivious to the lengthening queue of normal people behind them trying go about their business before the date changes for some screwed up scrap of paper which protects them from spending 10p more than they have to.

Oh how we love to hold up those company car drivers in their blinged up exotic machinery, stuff they could never afford to buy with their own money, but key to their inflated self importance in the company car park big dick swinging stakes. It really brings them back to earth. Last edited by: Zero on Fri 10 May 13 at 20:13 Reply to this message | Report message

Oh I think most of these people are too distracted by the excitement of saving 5p to be that selective. They still did it when I had a shonky old Mondy. Reply to this message | Report message

Anywhere I am when I need it, and no, that's not because some of my fuel is now company funded it's just that I probably fill up 3-4 times a week at least have done for what seems forever and never could be bothered to be faffing over it. If I need fuel and there's no queue I just do it. Win some lose some I guess. Generally top up when it gets below 1/2 a tank. That way I know I've always got enough no matter what stupid time in the morning I need to leave. Last edited by: Humph D'Bout on Fri 10 May 13 at 22:15 Reply to this message | Report message

I really don't understand this fixation with a few pence off per litre. Why on earth would I want to spend £50 in my local supermarket to get vouchers. Every other tank full I stuff in Shell V Power and all I know is that it is less than £1.50 litre. The main cost of any privately run car is depreciation and any annual mileage sub 15k makes saving a few pence per litre almost irrelevant. Having an extra few pints in the pub @ £2.90 with your chums puts it into perspective. Reply to this message | Report message
