EXPIRED - 5p off a litre of fuel @ Tesco - starts 30 June 2008

They send them with on-line orders too now.

Anything that gets fuel cheaper is a hot deal

Tesco fuel is rubbish - my car does less MPG then on Shell diesel. I've got trip computer and same route on the daily basis... 100 miles

Cheers
Chris

now petrol has gone up 20% it ought to be 6p off a l

every little helps - even if its smaller than ever

I thought it was only my car that happened too
when I fill up at tesco my car does 34.9mpg
I filled up at morrisons last and my car has done 35.3mpg

I thought this offer was coming...my local Tesco has put the price of fuel up by 3p in this last week. Works out the same price as the Asda with discount LOL

all supermarket standard fuel is pants, they buy the cheapest of the cheap fuel, but u shud
use 99ron like us turbo owners, thorney did a test on all premium fuels and found it was best.

This isn't expired!

Great offer IF they didnt add a few pence per litre just before starting these offers!

Shop at Asda - you'll save more money than buying your groceries at Tossco, so saving 5p on a litre of fuel won't matter.

I got this sent to me the other day from my uncle who works for shell!


THESE ARE TIPS I GOT FROM A FRIEND IN DURBAN

I don't know what you guys are paying for petrol.... but here in Durban we are also paying higher, up to R7.35 per litre. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more
of your money's worth for every litre.

Here at the Marian Hill Pipeline where I work in Durban , we deliver about 4 million litres in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and petrol, LRP and Unleaded. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 litres.

Only buy or fill up your car or bakkie in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the
more dense the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapour. Those vapours are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every litre is actually the exact amount.

Another reminder, if there is a fuel truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy, DO NOT fill up--most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.

DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS!

Most standard fuels are the same - I know someone who works for BP in Grangemouth and has seen Tesco, Shell, Asda, Morrisions tankers being filled at the same time using the same fuel at the same refinery......

Very Strange how Tesco do this AFTER another supermarket has done the same thing. Wonder how long it will last for.....
