Being one of the most competitive supermarket petrol station groups, Asda petrol prices are often seen as competitive. But are they the cheapest petrol prices in your area? Send us a review and tell us!

Very clever [name removed] are you being paid a bonus for the clever trick of further increasing the differential in price between petrol and diesel. When you raise the prices that increase will stay, further increasing Asda profits, ie 3p off petrol only 2p off diesel. Diesel cars, as you know are the most common vehicle hence the extra cost of diesel, this has being going on far too long and I am disgusted at the further participation of Asda in it. This differential doesn't exist across... (read more)

Hi, I've found out the same. Nothing shows up on your bank statement it is that discreet. The only way you'll notice is if you check your bank balance prior to using the pump, then immediately afterwards, then and only then you'll see your account has been deducted a £1.
I've approached the manageress at Asda Store Rochdale, having assured her that my bank "Halifax" do not charge, I was met with total denial, and totally dismissed my findings, not even wishing to investigate any further.
Well I'm sorry, I'm not leaving this alone, if every person is charged for using the pump £1 a time, and I use them at least 3 times per month, how much money Nationally are these pumps of their's sucking up?
I would like to hear from others with the same experience and bring these finding to Asda's National Head Office.

My daughter in law fills up regularly at ASDA in Spennymoor. Lately her car has started to become sluggish, then a couple of weeks ago started cutting out at medium to high revs. Then last week it would not go more than a few yards without cutting out. The AA had to tow it to a dealer who immediately asked without any prompting "Do you fill up at ASDA in Spennymoor?" When they were told "Yes". They said they had about half a dozen cars in the last couple of weeks with the same problem. The... (read more)

Hi, yes, today 18/1/13 and before but thought it was me. If it happens to each person, they would be making a LOT of money. So, they advertise they are cheaper, yet nab it back at the pump behind most peoples backs! After reading this, I am going to report them to the Ombudsman, trading Standards and the Sun newspaper did an article on them re' price war (but all the time they were taking it back!) And Tweet (I'm not on Twitter) as all need to know. I have now informed ASDA themselves. I suggest you do the same.

As a light haulage driver I use over £1000 of diesel a month, I try to fill up at the cheapest for obvious reasons, generally that's Asda, never had a problem with the fuel which is not surprising as it's the same as everywhere else. Twice in 100 or so fill ups I have had a receipt problem, I just ring the local branch & they post me a VAT receipt, a pain, but it gets sorted.

Yes this happened to me at Asda Great Bridge (although it is a manned self serve) I put £15 cash worth of diesel in but the gauge never moved. I never obtained a receipt. It did sound as if the fuel was going in at the time and I thought the gauge was faulty but towards the end of the week it had gone down. I filled up again (not at Asda!!) and it worked perfectly OK. I did ring the customer services but they didn't want to know. I don't know if its some sort of scam the employees are working?

I have been using Asda diesel since December 2010 last year and have noticed the stange smell from there diesel like turpintine brush cleaner not the smell I would associate with diesel.My car also is a turbo diesel and gradually I have noticed that it now gives of light coloured smoke when cold start in the mornings and running as if it were missing on one cylinder intermittent, strange for a diesel ,I think that it may be causing excessive carbon deposits ,which in turn may be causing piston rings and hydraulic valve lifters to stick hence the smoke and the running rough intermittent. There has also been a strong fuel smell like ki-gas when coming to a stop at my home on a number of occasions.I am getting increasingly concerned now about this and have made a complaing to the Asda station in Galashiels Scotland about my problem but so far not heard back from them. Is anyone else out there in Scotland or England noticed similar problems after using Asda fuel.

As for some cars spluttering after reaching red line on tank,its caused by all the heavy particles that every car has in the bottom of the tank,this has nothing to do with Asda fuel!

Definitely a false economy that I hope hasn't done any permanent damage to my engine.

Asda Petrol stations were great as you could do your shopping and fill up at the same time. Now they seem to be closing them all down, probably due to the fact that it does not make them much money, as all they did was sell petrol, they didn't usually have drinks / snacks on sale. We have 3 Asda stores in a 7 mile radius, none of which now have petrol stations. (read more)
