Tesco shoppers have three days to take advantage of an offer that could take £8 off a tank of fuel. Drivers have until Sunday, October 18 to make the most of the new deal, which gives customers 8p off per litre of petrol or diesel at Tesco filling stations.
The retail giant operates around 600 petrol stations across the UK and has launched the promotion amid soaring prices caused by turmoil in global markets, sparked by the US-Israeli conflict with Iran and Russia’s continuing war in Ukraine. Prices reached £2 a litre for the first time, with the previous record high of 199.09p set in June 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
How the Tesco fuel offer works
Customers who spend £60 or more in-store at Tesco by Sunday, October 18 will receive a coupon with their receipt, entitling them to 8p off per litre of fuel. Shoppers then have until Sunday, October 25 to redeem the coupon by scanning it at the petrol station till. This means fuel must be paid for in person, so the voucher cannot be used at pay-at-pump facilities.
The maximum discount available is £8, which is £2 less than when this promotion previously ran in August. Given that the average motorist fills up between 35 and 45 litres of fuel, most drivers are likely to save between £2.80 and £3.60.
Exclusions and terms to note
The offer excludes the Isle of Man, Tesco Express stores where Esso fuel is sold, unmanned petrol stations, and pay-at-pump services. Only one coupon may be used per transaction, and you must spend more than £1 on fuel. The coupon can be redeemed at participating Tesco-branded forecourts across Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but a Tesco store situated next to a forecourt does not automatically guarantee the coupon will be accepted.
The £60 minimum spend at Tesco excludes lottery products, e-top up, savings stamps, postage stamps, carrier bags, prescription medicines, infant milk formula, and purchases made at any café, tobacco kiosk, opticians, phone store, concessions, Travel Money, Tesco Bank, and Tesco Whoosh. Online shopping, including Tesco home delivery, Click and Collect orders, and Whoosh purchases, will not earn the fuel coupon.
Even with this deal, Tesco may not necessarily offer the lowest fuel prices in your area. Drivers can use a free tool such as PetrolPrices.com to identify the most affordable filling stations near them.
