After a series of confusing messages from the government it seems that the whole of the UK is in panic buying mode for petrol. Queues are forming outside most petrol stations and there have been reports of some forecourts running dry due to the increased demand.

Morrisons ups the petrol price war

Submitted by Petrol Prices on Sun, 02/26/2012 - 22:37

With unleaded and diesel prices reaching new highs it is great to see that the supermarket seem to be starting a bit of a pricing war. Last month Tesco were giving away 10p off each litre of fuel, but now Morrisons are offering an amazing 15p a litre if you spend over £60 in their store. For the average motorist this will save around £7.50 on a full tank of petrol, so it is well worth taking advantage off. Read more »

Santander Credit Card

Submitted by AJT on Sun, 02/19/2012 - 22:00

Here's another great way to save money on filling up with Petrol. Get the Santander 1,2,3 credit card. Not only do you get 1% cashback at supermarkets, and 2% a department stores (not sure what that applies to), but you also get a whopping 3% cashback for petrol purchases. So with unleaded at around 130p/l, thats equivalent to almost 3p a litre discount! Read more »

Winter Driving

Submitted by AJT on Sun, 02/05/2012 - 19:00

Britain is covered in a beautiful layer of snow, but this can make driving on our roads extremely treacherous. In these conditions you should only travel by car if it is absolutely necessary, and take precautions.
 
 - Slow down! Your stopping distances will be drastically increased, even if the roads are clear of snow and ice. This is because your tyres do not work as well when they are cold. And of course, if you are driving slowly you will have more time to react, and do less damage if you do spin off the road!

Which Side is the Petrol Cap?

Submitted by AJT on Sun, 02/05/2012 - 18:47

Did you know that you can tell which side your petrol filler cap is just by looking at your fuel gauge?  Not a lot of people know that! On most cars there is a small arrow next to the petrol fillter symbol, and whichever side it is on indicates the side to use for filling up your car/ Very handy if you have a hire car, or perhaps are just forgetful.

Tesco 10p of a litre of fuel

Submitted by AJT on Sat, 02/04/2012 - 17:34

Thats around £5 of a full tank of petrol! And to cap it all they are also offering a further £5 off your next spend over £40 in store. Read more »

Drink more, pay less?

Submitted by Petrol Prices on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 21:06

Petrol stations are often trying new promotions, which sometimes combine unlikely products with fuel purchases!  Perhaps some of you will remember Tesco's somewhat surreal petrol price discount last July, in which shoppers could earn 5p per litre off fuel by purchasing more than £10 on pet food!
