Well the robbing gits! Just been to fill up and it's still £1.22 a litre! Apparently it was up to £1.27 yesterday and it's now got the 5p off according to the guy working there. I find it hard to believe it was up to that much. They much of ramped it up just in time for this "special" offer. But as I needed fuel and everywhere is about the same price I filled up anyways. Ah well, it was a nice late night blast out either way.

£1.22 is, give or take, about the same price as normal UL so that sounds about right.

I've heard people trying to empty their tank doing unnecessary driving, driving out of their way to take advantage of the offer. Do they not understand the absurdity of spending more than they'll save to take advantage of the "offer"? You're gonna save about £3 on a whole tank after all.

Spend more than £50 at Tesco and you get 5p off, this is all the time too. OK, I don't use Tesco for the S but I do for the Omega so money saved.

My local station last week was doing £20 free fuel, now that's a real bargain. Some Good Year promo....

Well, it works for me. Just put 45 Litres in. V-Power was the same price as regular at 120.9ppl. Not really promoting it at the stations though so I expect most wont even realise it was the same price.
