Our T's are always the first to increase their prices and if you take the 5p off it's the same as the cheaper garages!!!

there is a website called (I think) petrolprices.com

if you put in your postcode it will tell you the cheapest prices and how far away they are

If you read the small print on the vouchers, one I saw was valid for upto 100 litres in one go, makes sense( if you can afford it to buy as much as you can......)
cant see the sense in driving around looking for cheap petrol if you are going to burn more on the journey,than what you "Save" ....

I don't drive, but my mate, who is a pensioner went to T,.@& last week. Due to the layout, it is easier to get your petrol before your food shopping, which she did. THEN when she was paying for her shopping she was handed a voucher for money off her petrol, which has to be used within so many days, and as it's a fair distance from her home, she isn't likely to use it.

If it looks as if we might not spend our vouchers we give them away. Unleaded here is£1.09 a litre, Tescos £1.07.

I work in a T*****s petrol station. The customer has 2 weeks to use the voucher from the date of issue.

When splitting the shopping make sure the end total is over £50.00 as sometimes you can get caught out by the offers, ie: Buy one get one free.
