Someone posted this elsewhere in the forum, but thought I'd also add it here, as it's especially useful for GTA owners

[Spacecadet]

My local Shell station refused to take it . . .

 

[fewleh]

What?!! How come? I can't believe that, especially after they were dishing out 5p off vouchers like sweeties last week to anyone and everyone on the forecourt.

Worked in Congleton.

Of course I ruined the saving by deciding to give Nitro+ a go, at 8p a litre more expensive than standard.

It does say participating outlets only but I cant find a list of which ones are!

I bet my local one isn't :rant:

 

[Spacecadet]

On the website that advertised the offer there is a link entitled find locations.

My closest is 19 miles away, not worth the gas to get there.

Bit of a con really.

Cant get that link to work, just says "sorry something went wrong" :lol:

 

[dabsafc]

I did see that button now I think about it but wasn't sure if that was actual participating stations of just your nearest?

Just checked and my nearest one doesn't come up so it must be the participating ones. My nearest is about 15 miles away!

 

[Bezste]

The one i tried does come up in that list but they still refused. There is another one close by so will try that next week. Both are owned/manned by Asians whose English is not great so it is very hard to explain or argue with them. Both are in Oldham area.

 

[fewleh]

Hmm well that sucks.. thought it was simpler than it really is -- that link has stopped working, so here's the new one - https://www.bespokeoffers.co.uk/consumer/offers/save-5p-per-litre-off-any-fuel-at-shell--fdf9d

Edit: it's only the more expensive garages around me doing it. There's 3 or 4 nearby that are always about 3 or 4p dearer than 2 other local garages, for no good reason.. and it's those more expensive ones that have the offer. Quel surprise! Total con.

They have all been taking the pxxx for years, got us by the short and curly's.

It's obvious petrol is rigged. If it was transparently priced the wholesale price would be public, not buried.

The profit has been moved to the oil companies , so there are not big enough retail profits to sustain independent competition , even with convenience store turnover from the shop.
