Tesco has launched a limited-time fuel offer giving shoppers 8p off each litre of petrol or diesel when they spend at least \u00a360 in a single in-store transaction. The promotion began on 1 October and runs until 18 Octobe<\/strong>r, with qualifying coupons valid at Tesco-branded filling stations until 25 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The offer arrives as UK fuel prices continue to climb, with diesel reaching record levels and petrol also rising sharply. According to RAC figures reported by the Daily Express<\/strong>, diesel stood at 199.18p per litre on Monday, while unleaded petrol averaged 174.13p per litre. The increases have put renewed attention on household motoring costs and the wider effect of higher transport expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Tesco\u2019s Fuel Discount Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customers who spend \u00a360 or more in one in-store Tesco transaction between 1 October and 18 October will receive a paper coupon <\/strong>offering 8p off each litre of diesel or unleaded petrol. A Clubcard is not required to qualify for the voucher. The coupon can be redeemed at Tesco-branded forecourts across Great Britain and Northern Ireland until Sunday, 25 October.<\/strong> The offer does not apply in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Daily Express<\/a>, the maximum saving available through the promotion is \u00a38. The qualifying \u00a360 spend is calculated after discounts, promotions and coupons have been applied, and the deal is limited to one qualifying spend<\/strong> during the promotional period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tesco\u2019s offer follows a similar move by Asda. The Sun <\/a>reported that Asda introduced a 5p-per-litre<\/strong> fuel discount for customers spending \u00a340 or more in a single in-store transaction. That promotion began on 23 September and is due to continue until 14 October at 262 participating Asda and Asda Express locations selling Asda-branded fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel Prices Put Pressure on Motorists and Businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fuel promotion comes at a time of particularly high diesel prices. According to RAC data reported by the Mirror<\/a>, diesel was averaging 199.79p per litre across the UK, representing an increase of 57p since the Middle East conflict began in late February. Petrol stood at an average of 174.61p per litre, up almost 42p over the same period. The Mirror also reported that motorway service stations were typically charging close to 217p per litre for diesel. The publication said around 9.5 million diesel drivers in the UK are affected, alongside businesses that depend on road transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RAC head of policy Simon Williams said the average diesel price had reached \u201cthe highest level in UK history\u201d, adding that the cost of filling an average family car was now almost \u00a3110,<\/strong> around \u00a331 more than at the start of the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Daily Express reported that Chancellor John Healey had said he was \u201cconcerned\u201d about the rise in petrol and diesel <\/a>prices. He pointed to the Government\u2019s Fuel Finder service<\/strong> and to the freeze on any increase in diesel duty until the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked whether the existing 5p cut in fuel duty would continue beyond the end of 2026, Healey said a decision would be announced in the Budget scheduled for 28 October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
