"Petrol prices are set to hit £1 a litre for the first time in more than six years on Monday.
Supermarket giant Morrisons is cutting the cost of petrol and diesel by 7p a litre in a new price war at the pumps.
Customers who spend at least £40 at the supermarket checkout will pay £1 a litre or less when they fill up at the chain’s 336 forecourts.
Across the UK, a litre of unleaded cost an average £1.07.95 while diesel was £1.10.15, according to the website petrolprices.com.
Some forecourts are already charging £102.9 a litre and motoring experts believe other supermarkets will soon follow suit with their own discounts.
They follow a dramatic decline in the price of crude oil per barrel, down from a peak last year of 115 dollars to 40 dollars on Friday, a six and a half year low.

Morrisons says it is making the cuts to help motorists with the cost of getting around during the pre-Christmas shopping spree, including Black Friday."

Yes it is. This isn't a price cut, it's an offer - spend £x in store get y pence per litre off fuel.
Morrisons are being disingenuous too - suggesting this is the first time you've been able to get fuel for less than £1/litre in 6 years.
1 - Sainsburys had a similar offer earlier in the year which did exactly that
2 - Tesco FuelSave made it equally possible for several months
3 - There were a handful of stations offering Unleaded at 99.7ppl in December/January.

Cold - poor deal with an even poorer title. Made even worse by the fact petrol prices are coming down closer to £1 over the next 7 to 14 days - so this deal is going to be less and less of a deal.
"Supermarket giant Morrisons is cutting the cost of petrol and diesel by 7p a litre in a new price war at the pumps."
Err, no it's not. Completely misleading. They are giving a voucher to customers who spend £40 in their store. They are not cutting basic pump prices for all customers. Just because it's contradicted in the next sentence doesn't make it OK to say.

If the price comes down to £1 p litre at other outlets I'm sure that Morrison's would bring theirs down to none voucher users to £1 p litre, so voucher users would get it for 93p p litre so it's still a deal unless they stop the voucher deal.

You wouldn't understand would you? probably the same reason you don't understand how '7p off the price of fuel with a £40 spend instore' is clearer, probably the same reason your stupid enough to ask me if I understand what BOGOF means after I just quoted it. Just leave it, there's obviously more than 1 thing you do not understand.
soldierboy001
23 Nov 15#104
I can't understand why people who are so wrong continually make up a senseless argument to make them seem as if they were so right in the beginning. Plus you don't need to say it's FREE if you say BOGOF or don't you know what BOGOF means?
jaypee24
23 Nov 15#103
and I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned already but just in case you are having trouble reading.
If there was a BOGOF on a 2 litre Coke bottle. You wouldn't word it "FREE 2 litre COKE - when you purchase a 2 litre bottle of Coke"
But hey, whatever gets you more heat right? Hope the extra heat made a massive difference to OPs life, after all it was quite cold today(!)

23 Nov 15#102
Oh I understand it just fine, my point (and all the others if YOU read) is that the title was misleading and could have been worded better. Also, if YOU read properly, the advert itself has apparently been removed due to the confusing nature. If you don't understand how the title is/was misleading then I suggest instead of asking others to take English classes, maybe you should??

The header and the blurb make it perfectly clear to me , instead of speed reading read the introduction properly and then maybe you will understand it better.

They are not 'cutting' the price they are giving you 7p off if you spend £40, - not applicable to everyone! I don't understand why OP finds it difficult to understand that
HankHandsome to jaypee24
23 Nov 15#95
Who's saying I find it "difficult to understand" - the title couldn't be any clearer. Prices cut by 7p a litre for a £40 minumum spend in-store.
It's even in the initial description ..
"Customers who spend at least £40 at the supermarket checkout will pay £1 a litre or less when they fill up at the chain’s 336 forecourts."
So what part am I struggling with exactly ?

22 Nov 151#93
To be honest I'd find it nigh on impossible to spend £40 in Morrison's. I don't think I could stay in one long enough the places are so damn drab, depressing and disorganised.

For those people who spend over £40 but use a taxi to get home, give your voucher to the taxi driver.
ratcatcher to soldierboy001
22 Nov 15#81
Wouldn't give anything to a taxi driver. How many are LEGAL TAXI drivers??? In Newcastle ANYONE can be a taxi driver and there are queues down the corridor outside the council application office because there are no more knowledge tests so the numbers of licenses issued have rocketed over the past six months.
No one cares anymore in our governments or councils as long as their money rolls in. It is as bad as the corporate greed of all our foreign owned businesses that are taking this godforsaken country to the cleaners then CLOSING everywhere down.
scnickr
22 Nov 15#80
Haven't read the whole thread but on the face of it it sounds like a good deal.
I wouldn't go here purposely JUST to get the offer. If I was shopping here anyway (which I won't be as I don't have one near me) then it's a good deal.
ratcatcher
22 Nov 15#79
Don't forget the Morrisons 5 week Xmas offer if you spend £30 anyway so as Tesco says
"EVERY LITTLE DOES HELP at Morrisons" and they are cheaper by far than Tesco..
ratcatcher
22 Nov 15#78
I paid 103.9 for petrol at Morrisons a couple of weeks ago and today it is 104.9 so with 7p off that should mean 97P.
Wait and see if it turns out that way.
Rather go to Morrisons than rip off Tesco who are always a few pence more expensive than any other local station.
Excellent deal . I spent £40 in store then £60 on petrol to fill the tank. £100 spend and I save ...............
£4.20 :neutral_face: PASS.

22 Nov 152#68
So let me get this straight.
You go to Morrisons and buy £1000 worth of 3v cards and hide the next 20 cards etc.
You then get a coupon for £1 off per litre (maximum value according to Morrisons website).
You buy your fuel and save £40 to £60.
You then go home and over a course of time input 20 x £50 or 40 x £25 3v cards to your paypal.
You then gift the balance of £1000 to your wife or significant other.
He or she withdraws this money. You've got your money back.
You repeat when you need another tank of fuel.
Paypal block your account 10 times over a course of 20 months.
You phone paypal every couple of months in order to unblock your account.
Would rather work tbh.

Fact is thousands of people are out of work due to the price of oil being the lowest it has for a very long time, yet some in here are still moaning it's not enough. When the current stock reserve is exhausted and prices start to go back up in a year you will still be moaning, enjoy it now while you can.

but how much did you spend @ Tesco to get those vouchers ? at least £300 ? while you can buy the same or better quality food from elsewhere for £100 cheaper :innocent:
willdennington
22 Nov 151#59
Agreed!
Very misleading indeed.... the suggestion is that this is the 1st time in years fuel can be purchased for under £1 a litre. I have filled up my car several times using 20p off a litre with Tescos bringing it down to under £1....
aceuk
22 Nov 152#58
Indeed. If you spent £10 less on your shopping at Aldi or Lidl compared to Morrisons that would effectively give you a discount of 20p per litre and a petrol price of 87p per litre if it originally cost 107p per litre.
For a car with a 50 litre fuel tank you would only be saving £3.50 if you filled it up from empty with Morrisons.
If my maths are wrong please correct me. :stuck_out_tongue:

agreed they are not reducing the price of petrol at all. just giving you a voucher if you spend over £40 instore. meh last I filled up earlier in the week our local Morrisons was at 108.9 for diesel and our not as local asda at 103.7. Thus 7p off would make them very competitive but not really as I probably save £5 to £10 by shopping in Aldi.

Its not the supermarkets or petrol stations fault for the huge prices its the taxes on petrol and then the VAT amounting to about 70p per litre before the cost of the fuel, the government make 70p for every litre you buy.
