I think I probably know the answer to this, but perhaps others may know different!! 😀😀.......

Paying with a Fuelpecker card entitles you to 4p off a litre of diesel at Esso. There is also a deal whereby you can trade in 300 Nectar points for 5p off a litre of diesel. (You can guess where this is going.... 😀)

If you use 300 Nectar points (for the 5p reduction) and then pay with your Fuelpecker card, which comes through in a few days with 4p a litre off.... That way you have saved 9p a litre at Esso.......

Anyone tried it? Probably a very slim chance..... I'd be interested to hear if anyone has tried it......

Comment from my wife: 'Trust you to think of that!!!!!' 🤣🤣🤣

I rather think that you are "a realist with experience" than a cynic!

It could very well depend on where you live and how desperate you are. If Esso is just around the corner and Asda is 8 miles away, and your almost empty.... Or even time constraints.... There was a huge queue at Sainsbury's here, yesterday (mainly a shortage of Unleaded), but you still had to queue is you wanted diesel. I queued for around 15 minutes to get to a diesel pump... those for unleaded queued longer....

Last filled up on 22nd March. Every time I have wanted to top up, price too high and queues too long!

At the moment, Asda and Sainsbury's are the cheapest here and beat our local Esso even with the 4p off for using Fuelpecker...

i have thought about doing that, but i cannot see how it would work. You will get the nectar discount at the till, but fuelpecker convert the pump price to their discounted price. it takes a few days for the converted fuelpecker price to come through. But you could always try.

I'm fortunate that on my way to my local supermarket I pass an Esso garage. I am therefore able to compare prices and fill up at the less expensive outlet. For the past month the headline price for diesel at the Esso garage has been less than the supermarket I then get .03p a ltr off.

Woops! Should have said .04p a ltr discount for diesel. Sorry

When the prices at our local Esso come down to make the 'double discount' worthwhile, I may well give it a go. At the moment, it is cheaper for us to use Sainsbury's or Asda - even with the 4p Fuelpecker discount and using Nectar points.
