Tesco : Driving home for Christmas? Tesco Clubcard customers to get the best deal on petrol and diesel this festive season

Britain's biggest petrol retailer has cut the cost of petrol by 2p per litre and the cost of diesel by 1p per litre at all of its petrol stations. The changes will come into effect Thursday morning.

Tesco's network of 500 filling stations is the largest of all UK supermarkets and the drop means millions of motorists across the country can save even more on the cost of fuel in the run up to Christmas.

The cut is in addition to savings customers can make through Fuel Save, which can be worth up to 20p off a litre. The more customers shop with Tesco, the more money they can save on fuel. Customers have until New Year's Eve to use their fuel saving from November.

Peter Cattell, Fuel Director for Tesco said:

"We're dropping the cost of petrol by 2p and diesel by 1p at all of our 500 filling stations. That's on top of the 6p per litre average saving on petrol that Clubcard customers are currently getting thanks to our Fuel Save scheme. That means Clubcard customers visiting friends and family this Christmas can get the lowest price for petrol and diesel in the UK."
