I already check out petrolprices.com, but is there a specific site that you canhelp one plan a journey on, that also shows asda / tesco stores along the route.

Friday, going from Weybridge to Chester and will need to fill up, my local diesel is 105.9 and I hear ASDA have just reduced their prices below 99.9p, also any major problems along that journey ??


ps no one commented upon my follow up to "who is more culpable "

I'm sure both companies have widgets on their site to map stores....

Banbury Tesco is just off J11 of the M40, Fuel, cafe, and fair sized shopping centre. Only Asda I know of is at Wheatly, (M40 J8), Store on its own, Fuel, card only pumps, no cafe. EDIT ---- Forgot High Wycombe, thats almost London.

Only a few hours, we live on a very small island. :-)

I thought ASDA has a national pricing policy, for fuel anyway, the price was advertised on national radio today.

One you might or might not be interested in.
(A few miles of the M40 but a straight fast dual carriageway leads to it)
Immediately next door is www.bicestervillage.com/en_GB/shopping/cat/homelif...e

Wouldn't swear to it but I reckon that's the first time the word "lifestyle" has appeared in the Backroom. Shudder

Asda's action is commendable, especially as it only has around 170 fuel outlets (far fewer than Tesco and other supermarkets) and hopefully it will prompt a fuel price war in the areas where these are based.

However, it is fair to point out that Tesco not only knocks 5p a litre off if you spend £50 or more in store at one go (easy if you have a family), but also an additional boost with Club Card points.

It struck me today, during PMQ, when the question of continuing high fuel prices was raised despite the cost of a barrel of oil being much less than around a year ago, that the higher the price at the pumps the happier the Chancellor. The MP who brought up the subject asked if the 2p increase due in September could be delayed or dropped?

Harriet Harman made some pious remarks about the matter, but didn't really give a definitive answer. I suspect that the prices will have come down sufficiently by then for the 2p increase to go ahead as planed.

But I always was a cynic.
