Try mixing it with lemonade :smirk:

And here is your anecdotal evidence in it's full context:



Do you work for the BBC website by any chance? They sensationalise statistical graphs in exactly the same way.

I'm not sure if you're trying to prove his point or not, but even on the drop it's only a difference of ~5%, which could easily be due to driving in a different manner and/or on different roads for that tank. Got to love how easy it is to twist data with graphs though!

Until the end of the month you're better off going to Sainsburys - slightly higher price at the pump but 10 nectar points per litre.

= 5p per litre back in Nectar points
= 10 per litre when those points are used in next month's double up event.

Looks like they've only cut petrol by 1p as it's been 106.7 for diesel at my local store for a few weeks.

Our diesel Has been 106.0 for the past month!!

been this morning noticed it had dropped

Whilst I know Costco doesn't have pumps around the country - although I think they have plans to expand, at the ones it does, it regularly beats the lowest price in the area by a good 2-3p a litre on both petrol and Diesel. For example its 102.9 for petrol and 104.9 for diesel at their pumps and has been for some time!

108.9 and 109.9 At Tesco/Morrissons in Crewe. Won't have to fill up until next week so hoping it matches everything else by then!

I've added up all the 2p drops at Asda posted on HUKD - they pay you to fill up now!

In the interests of transparency someone needs to post all the balancing rises too!

I don't like Asda fuel it does't last long:(

Wish Esso would at least try and stay competitive, I've got an ongoing Amex offer for £5 off a £50 spend but they're about 8p more expensive per litre than the supermarkets.

These are my last 6 fill ups. One is Asda fuel and the rest are BP. Like to guess which is the Asda?




EDIT: Answer is the 4th. In this anecdotal sample, there was no difference in MPG. The big drop was on a long distance with 2 adults, 2 children and a pack boot which isn't surprising.

There's a difference between a "price cut" and "over-charging slightly less"! ;-)

103.7ppl was the Asda price in January... if it goes lower this time, it'll be lowest it's been since I've been driving (2 years).

I'm not sure if you're trying to prove his point or not, but even on the drop it's only a difference of ~5%, which could easily be due to driving in a different manner and/or on different roads for that tank. Got to love how easy it is to twist data with graphs though!

Go Asda but I still think we shouldn't be paying more then a £ a litre we crude oil prices being so low

This 'national price cap' is complete rubbish. In Edinburgh alone they charge 3 different prices.

Same with my motorbike.
Stage 1 tuned Kawasaki ZZR600.
Not 100% on what the tank actually holds, but from usage,
i get 120 miles to a tank on Shell V-Power
110 miles to a tank on normal shell
102/103 miles to a tank on Asda petrol.

Im not making a blanket statement that ASDA Petrol is inferior, or that every vehicle will get less miles from the same tank, but in MY vehicle, ASDA petrol seems to make a negative difference.

Wow sounds like ASDA petrol is weaker than wee. I never thought there would be a difference its just petrol but I was wrong.

"to a tank"?
You're not doing it right.
Try filling up.
Set the trip mileage to zero.
When it's time to fill up again, record the miles done and the petrol filled.
Divide the miles done by the petrol used and then, and ONLY then, will you know your mileage.
"per tank" is a flawed and variable result and totally useless for this subject.

ps. I've tried Shell, Shell " special" LOL and ASDA with no difference in MPG at all.
Mind you. I never fill up during a full moon, on Sundays or when my neighbour's granny is wearing green bloomers.:confused:

60.5?

At last!!!
Just like the rest of Europe, petrol cheaper than diesel.

I'm pretty sure i know how to fill up a tank and work out the mileage.
The reason i didn't include the mpg, is that it only costs me roughly £15 to fill up my tank from when i switch to reserve. Yes, the reserve tap. When i hit reserve, this is when i decide to refuel my bike.
So when i use the phrase "a tank" it would be from the same point each time. ie' reserve. So you can step off your soap box now, or go and irritate someone else.

Why is it, that there always seems to be a presumptuous, high-horse, know it all **** in every thread, that just loves to talk down to people?

5 year low? It was 99.9p at a few stations earlier in the year.

Cold as diesel been 105.9 at Sainsburys for weeks!

And because Asda petrol stations don't really exist, they're a myth, never to be found!

And here is your anecdotal evidence in it's full context:



Do you work for the BBC website by any chance? They sensationalise statistical graphs in exactly the same way.

I'm not actually trying to prove anything. The drop is a long journey with 2 adults, 2 children and a rammed boot.

The other journeys have been on my regular boring commute of 21 miles each way with similar traffic levels each day and similar driving manner.

I filled up with Asda fuel after the 60.5MPG so the answer is 59.5MPG.

So, all I am suggesting is that on my limited recorded data (running a tank from full to empty) the Asda fuel made no difference.

Jeez, lighten up! By providing the 'evidence' in its full context you've demonstrated that you came to the assumption that I was stipulating that the lowest was the Asda fuel. No, all tanks were almost identical because all but the lowest were on the same daily commute. i.e. with my anecdotal evidence the fuel type made no difference.

As for the graph itself, it was pulled directly from my fuelly account. How they choose to display my stats on their graphs is there choice...

This is still more expensive than my local garage, which has petrol at £1.029 for ages and is usually only about £104/5.9 even when their price goes up. If they can do it for that price, then don't see why the likes of Asda etc. are not capable of beating that price all the time. COLD cos its a $%£king rip off.

Filled my car up, heat added and thanks for posting

And what is the difference in price of filling up at BP compared to Asda. Just because you get less MPG, doesn't mean you're actually getting less for the money, you know?

Basic maths!

shame asda dont do premium unleaded, my car prefers it. I run it on Tesco's Momentum but was tempted by asda price a month or so ago. I realise 'pinking' can occur but my car wouldn't start when I got home, from cold. So no more asda fuel for me.

why dont asda offer the premium fuel?

No. Just take a Costco member its you. There are plenty about.
Same with the Costco warehouse, just go as a guest.

104 p/litre for unleaded in Sainsburys Hayes (Middlesex) + 10 nectar points p/litre until month end

heavier car = lower mpg

John Lewis is doing price match..

Why not do your kids and planet a favour and ditch the dino juice and get an EV, Diesel particals causes cancer and asthma and the sooner people wake up to these facts the the air we all breath will be healthier and cleaner

Im sorry but asda's fuel gives worse mpg, use Salisburys/Morrisons/shell all give same mpg but asda...

Diesel has gone up by 2p litre at asda recently,so a 1p cut is nothing to blow your trumpet about

Who said you get less at Asda? Another numpty making an assumption that I was implying that Asda gave less MPG!

So, please quit your patronising "basic maths" comments.

No flies on you!

I hate this crap about a few pence, my transit holds 90 litres max which will last 600 miles. you'll save more money by driving sensibly than scurrying around trying to save less than 4 quid for a full tank

Wow, £1.20 saved on the average tank. How has this got to over 900 degrees, get a grip people!

No being funny or that but we use BP ultimate and we get 150 mile more than any other diesel so ill never go back even though it's that bit dearer I getting my money's worth and my car doesn't sound like a tractor ☺ but good price if your on a tight budget. .

Cheaper at my sainsburys taking nectar into account

Gas (petrol) here in the USA is at an all time FOURTEEN YEAR LOW at just 34p a litre - and that is calculated for the UK 8 pint gallon. Ask yourself why we are at just a five year low and why we can't match USA. Try tax and vat and massive profiteering by the big oil companies. Do our government care? Yes because if you stop filling up, they can't fill up the government coffers. So if you do that, they have no other option than to put prices up. Do the math as they say over here.

​The reason for that is, that whenever anyone fills up at BP, they feel so shocked and physically sick at what they've just had to pay for a tank of fuel that they then decide to drive like a saint for a few weeks. Or at least until they forget.

Just another example of a "mod" having a hot deal that is not hot at all... get a grip hukd... your so called mods are making a mockery of this site.

How can the price be a "5-year low", when I have a petrol receipt from Asda dated 10th Feb this year stating I paid 103.7/L for unleaded?

My mate Dave (who's got 2 GCEs) says they can only knock the prices down this low because they're watering the petrol down! He wreckons this probably ends up being only around 68RON :confused:

I hope they mean 5 year low for their own brand, because I've had my local Sainsbury's go down to 101.9 not so long ago.

don't matter if they cut the price your still get the same amount of fuel anyway. You see the pumps are dodgy. go to teaco sainsbury and there fuel will be slightly higher and put £20 in then go asda put £20 in just because its a little cheaper do not mean your getting more fuel or actually saving anything your see what I mean when you try this

​yes you do

Yea only getting 56 mpg, I'm really feeling for you here, a post about petrol and everyone goes crazy

Same price at Tesco in Seacroft Leeds when I passed last night, for petrol at least, didn't look at diesel.

poor quality fuel with low quality biodiesel. I got an infected fuel tank (diesel bug) using asda diesel. worth paying few quid extra for a full tank of quality fuel

Esso does diesel for £1.06 locally and far better quality than Asda...Dont see deal here.

Finally someone who didn't take my post too seriously!

lol. Maybe I am fortunate that my BP garage is usually just 1.2p more than Asda. question is, do I get 1% more MPG? :wink:

I think it's because Diesel is a penny cheaper than it was then.

Please no one hurt me for this comment. Does the difference in mpg from different petrol stations apply to both petrol and diesel? Where is the petrol quality best?

This is the same price at my local morrisons

yesterday i think i saw it at 107. worth it with the current nectar points going on.

I have no doubt they could do a lot better

"two 'ologys" that makes him a scientist!!! :smile:

I never get bored of the comments on a fuel thread :confused:

Like sheep, Morrisons will reluctantly follow

Just thought oil was $42 (Brent) a couple of months ago so how comes prices weren't as low then? Seems to be some profiteering going on somewhere...

Diesel is cheaper @ sainsburys so it's not a saving for me

I have noticed that if I do get my fuel from ASDA or Morrisons it DOES NOT LAST AS LONG sainsburys is cheaper and lasts longer give it a try

Already fuelled up this week but will be on this at the weekend

I like euro garages for the brands they use, Starbucks etc, but their fuel is extortionate. MRH cheap fuel days are pretty good.

Again it depends on the area/management (or do you mean the Euro garages being extortionate?) Round here Esso are always price matching the supermarkets but there are a lot of garages in a tiny radius, and I agree MRH are good for cheaper fuel days, at one point they were cheaper without those days! There's three of them round here I think, one Esso, one Jet and one BP

"STARBUCKS"?
You use that Maffia owned bunch of thieves?
It's funny how Americans support American companies, French support French, Germans the same but the British support a bunch of toe-rags that rip the country off.

my local morrisons has too.

rozed

Ev's are even more environmentally unfriendly, convert coal/gas/oil/nuclear into electricity and then convert again to move a vehicle that cant be as efficient as cutting out the middle man!!

So martinm1 this must mean that there is no electricity used in extracting, transporting the crude oil, refining the stuff and then transporting the fuel to the filling station and then pumping the fuel into the car,
Renewables’ share of electricity generation was 25.3 per cent in 2015 Q2( uk gov figures) so the hand-waving argument – electric cars are dirty because the grid is coal powered – just doesn’t fly when faced with reality and the amount of electricity generated from renewables will grow (not as fast as before because of a nuclear and fracking obsessed backward thinking government) plus I and some other owners charge there ev's from there own solar panels.
Just face it Diesel and Petrol are a dying technology and if you do a bit of research more and more manufactures are investing in hybrid and electric cars which will be launched in the next five to ten years

You're wrong about wind turbines http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/feb/29/turbines-energy

And you're wrong about your 'cut out the middle man' theory. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/green-living-blog/2011/jan/17/electric-car-emissions
Power plants are more efficient at extracting energy from fossil fuels, electric motors are much much more efficient at turning energy into motion. And as the grid becomes greener, so do the cars. Fossil fuel cars just get worse with age.
Don't drive electric because of the limited range, because you don't like or can't afford the cars available? Fine, but don't sprout lies and rubbish...

No, so you just believe crap in the Graudian? Agenda-seeking paper just like all the others depending on which side of the hymn sheet they're singing from. You can prove anything with statistics. However, it doesn't mean it's true, that's why there are three kinds of lies...
As the grid becomes greener, which I agree will happen, the more the lights will go out too. Wait and see.
Like everything, 'it's all about making dosh, not making your life easier. The planet is not dying. That's all ****. It's been around a lot, lot, lot longer than that daft phrase rolled out by the 'green' generation (they are certainly that, 'green'!) with all the global warming ****, brainwashing the dim and even schoolkids: ie 'since records began' - yeah, well in most cases records began 'about a hundred years ago'! The planet is decidedly a few more years of age!
You'll realise that as you become older (and wiser) and less wet behind the ears that an 'agenda' is just waiting round the corner for you! Incidentally, what happened to the 'ozone layer', 'acid rain'. 'global warming' etc? Oh sorry, the latter is still here, they (the agenda seekers) changed it to 'climate change'. For once only they are correct, the climate does change ... it always has, and believe me, it always will!!
Follow the agenda seekers, and one thing is for sure, you'll get lost with their lies, damned lies and statistics.

Where are we going to get all this electric from? the electric companies are already warning that our emergency reserve is in danger of not being able to provide enough back up. BBC TV News a few days ago.

Sprouts are not rubbish.
I quite like them. :confused:

I think you dropped your tinfoil hat :wink:
You're welcome to find better sources, but I think you'll find any credible one agrees with my point. I picked the guardian as its easily recognisable.


The national grid are very good at their jobs, they've already taken the measures needed to keep the lights on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33527967
And there are already lots of trials for smart EV chargers to make use of 'spare' capacity (e.g. in the day when solar panels are generating, or its nice and windy) to charge EVs. Or to delay charging when the grid has high demand (http://evobsession.com/1st-smart-electric-vehicle-charging-trial-launched-london/).

​Very good!

That's OK for this year and maybe the next but I am talking about the future as more and more EV's are expected on the road, and your point about charging is not what the sellers are telling you about charging times they say charge at night when the tariffs are low, not in the day when nearly every body is using it you would be contributing to the strain on the system.

What has happened to all those predictions of Diesel being less than a pound a litre by Christmas and staying below petrol?

Asda petrol literally makes my car go in to limp mode, I don't care how cheap it is, it doesn't outweigh the costs of repairing my car. Shell or Esso any day.

Here is a new one and true, for the last 3 months I have been using a self serve/nil attended fuel station @ on average 8p below local prices and my fuel usage has improved from 57MPG to 61MPG with no change in driving pattern, and that's on standard diesel.
