I think so. Why?

SRSport

Because 0.05p would be taking the mick. £0.05 would be quite good.

Asda? Tesco? For cheap shopping?

No No No: Aldi is where you want to go for cheapy cheap cheap. Most stuff is pretty good too. So long as you aren't obsessed with brand names.

If Aldi did petrol, I'd buy from there too.

(I'm tucking into an Aldi trifle right now. Yummy )

Turbohot

Oh, right! I think it is 5 pence per litre TBH. Hang on, I will ring them and check it now. Apart from that, you did look intelligent for picking on that, so kudos to you, mate.

Turbohot

Aldi is depressing. I don't like the look of it. They display their items very badly. Consumer's mind responds to how a store looks like. Consumer falls for the organised look, and spends more money in Tesco or ASDA.

LIDL is another depressing one. They don't even sell good, well-packaged brands there. Their flowers looklike they have come from the graveyard after being there for 3 days.

Perhaps you pay a premium at Tesco knowing your card will not be copied/cloned and used by the Asian mafia

Or local shell is cheaper, i only pay cash there though as it has been done at least twice for card cloning!

SRSport

Lol, thanks. I thought I might come across as a bit slow thinking that it could be 0.05p/ltr but I wouldnt put it past them, hence wanting to double check. A few years ago they did a promotion of double and triple points across everything only to reduce the actual value of the additional points to less than what a single point would have been in the first place. Very sneaky and misleading.

Our Tesco is situated 200yds from an Esso station. The Esso station displays it's prices so that you can see them from the road as you drive past.

The Tesco displays it's prices so they are hard to see and then only from one direction.
Tesco is ALWAYS 1p a litre dearer than Esso, sometimes more.
AND they bung their price UP when they have one of those 5p a litre things on.

I HATE Tesco. They epitomise evrything that is wrong with the UK at present

Aldi are ok but I can never read the labels on the cans ;-)

AsifScoob

Ok, just been to fill up and as they are next to each other, checked out the Shell first. The V Power is 139.9 per litre.

Drove for 10 seconds to Tesco and their Momentum is...134.9 per litre.

So, I filled up there for about £71 and gained my 35 Clubcard points.

The definition of happiness I say, or in reality, the best of a bad deal all round.

SRSport

Where abouts are you? I think V power is around 133.9/ltr near me.

If there's one thing NSR is obsessed with it's branded names - you can ALWAYS tell the difference from the cheaper stuff you know

Oh no, thank God for saline

West London. Nothing cheap around here.

Both the Tesco garages in Harlow are Superstore, i dont buy petrol at Tesco's since this pricing policy was implemented about 6 months ago.

I just wondered why they couldnt undercut Shell anymore on even UL?

which is in fact 2 pence per litre cheaper @ Esso near Canary Wharf than at Tesco's in Harlow?

SRSport

That where the most expensive petrol station is. It was on the news the other day with a picture of someone filling up a Veyron at £1.54/ltr!

Still the average wage of people living in that area more than make up for extra petrol prices, especially for those on benefits.

AsifScoob

Err...I am not actually on benefits, but I am sure you didn't mean that.

mrmadcap

I too am driving a diesel car but wouldn't consider myself to be lucky.
Now if i won the lottery and was driving around in a supercar then i would consider myself to be lucky

back to aprevious point, you get waht been stuck in tanks at petrol stations god knows what you get.

If it drops in ron value with age then logically it may drop to 95 ron but thrn the original 95 ron will be 93 and so on and the american 83 ron wil be even worse lol.

I use momentum and never had an issue and car runs superbly,

SRSport

Lol, sorry I wasnt suggesting that at all. I had just read a news article about a family who claim £97,000 a year in benefits for living in West London as they "have a right to not live in a run down area" so implied that even if you are supposedly poor you could afford it if you live in that area.

Lee247

I filled up on Sunday, supermarket stuff. Supposedly the super unleaded and cheaper than Ultimate etc.
£134.9. I wouldn't say that was cheap

Tesco Momentum = 6p/l more than standard unleaded VPower = 7p more than standard so easy to work out the cost of the good stuff.

Round o0ur way Shell is 2p more than the Tesco because they are over a mile away so don't try to compete. The cheapest on a reular basis appears to be Esso (but I wouldn't fill a Scooby up unless I had to). 126.9 at most of them.

5t.

AsifScoob

LOL! I had thought as much.

Those things do happen, but if I knew how to - I still wouldn't be doing it. Cannot bring myself to sponge and that I why I believe that no one else should, (definition of sponger here would be someone who lives on benefits, when they don't have to, or have chosen to).

Although slightly off topic, one of the reasons our petrol is so expensive is because of said spongers.

My fear would be that of if sponging was reduced, deficit paid off and so on, would fuel duties come down? I don't think that they would.

andythejock01wrx

Someone of a similar age.

I've never seen it that price in Edinburgh!

The Shell station at Craigleith, near my work in Edinburgh, is 137.9p/l. The Maybury shell station maybe 4 miles from that is 132.9! Funny to think of that as being relaitively "cheap"! Tescos is not on my route, but similar to the latter.

AsifScoob

It's not far off though is it?
