“Very Helpful Staff”
Written on: 22/05/2013 by audiaudi452 (8 reviews written)
The advisor in the Derby site was a great help to me over three months ago when I stupidly left my wallet at home. Couldnt recommend her enough during a stressful situation. Its always very well presented inside there also and the coffee machine is great first thing. (read more)

“The petrol from this station is far more expensive...”
Written on: 23/10/2010
The petrol from this station is far more expensive than most other stations (up to 5p per litre). Since Sainsbury's took over the former Somerfield store we have scene the demise of 3 independant petrol stations. The reason for this demise......they simply undercut the fuel prices that the others were charging......result, the smaller stations could not compete and so went out of business. Sainsbury's now have the monopoly for North Walsham and the surrounding area, as the nearest petrol... (read more)

Written on: 10/10/2010
Used the Sainsbury's forecourt in Grantham yesterday, mainly because all the other stations in town had increased their prices by 1 or 2 pence per litre - including ASDA! Lowest price, great customer service, and even with 4 diesel pumps out of action, very speedy service! The staff set me up with a Nectar card, gave me a laugh and i left with a smile. Overall a great experience (read more)

Written on: 30/08/2010
In this area where wages are known to be low Sainsbury's have admitted that because there is no other competition they keep their petrol prices higher than other areas, where as Taunton approx 40 miles away the petrol prices can be 5p a litre less because there is a Morrison's nearby. Tesco in our area also hold their prices high so they are not any better.(Sainsbury's admission to higher prices were quoted to me by email from the costomer services when I asked why the prices were higher) (read more)

Written on: 16/07/2010
My concerns are: I drove into their garage with 40 miles showing on my fuel gauge. I put in £29.00 (they were advertising at 1.12). My gauge read 245 miles after filling. The receipt actually showed the cost of the fuel at 1.129!
I then refueled at Bury St Edmunds Sainsbury's. My gauge read 10 miles left. I put in £25 at 1.15 and after filling my gauge read 280 miles.... Less fuel, but more miles? Are they short changing in Devon

Written on: 12/07/2010
I do not understand why, when SAINSBURY'S PETROL is bought from one supplier/refinery in bulk, that the price varies from £1:14.9 per litre in the city stores to £1:18.9 per litre in my local Sainsbury's in our rural market town of North Walsham in Norfolk? Sainsbury's obviously have the 'monopoly' with no competition, so therefore they are exploiting us rural dwellers!We have no choice but to pay this extortionate price which is so unfair and should not be allowed. Our nearest alternative... (read more)
Nick Jenkins's Comment
Written on: 07/11/2010
I found this review not helpful because...This person fails to understand that petrol has to be delivered from oil refineries and distribution centres. It may well be the extra 2p or 3p per litre is due to these direct costs. If Sainsbury is the only local petrol station and you think it is too expensive go to the nearest alternative and pay the distribution costs yourself (time and money).

Written on: 11/06/2010
In my part of the world, Oxford, Sainsburys have a major market share of both their own grocery & other in store products & fuel.
There are two large stores about 10 minutes apart, one north of the city & the other south. Over recent weeks the northen store has consitantly been 3p per litre (across the board) more expensive than the southern store, which has a Tesco 5 minutes away.
So if you're in this part of the world you might want to a) use the southern store, or b), exert some customer...

Good food but highly priced! Fairly good range...but, The fruit always goes off within 2/3 days! Especially those which are forced ripe...
The petrol offers would be good for us except that we would have to travel to Brighton to get the 5p off offer!!! Defeats the object!
Does Sainsburys own BP/Shell in the Uk?
Good start but a long way to go to be a better Tesco and truly help the general public!
The websites should have a petrol station locator!

You get one Nectar point per litre of fuel from Land's End to John O'Groats. This cannot change under any circumstances. Staff can't choose to put less points on for you, it's automatic. If you want your points putting on give them your nectar card, they don't have to ask you for it by law.

Written on: 16/05/2008 by nor4h (2 reviews written)
I have rheumatoid arthritis and if I ask the attendant at Sainsbury's petrol stations, someone will fill the tank for me, which is a great help! It would be better if an attendant actually offered to fill your tank, rather than having to go in and ask. In the Republic of Ireland they do this routinely at most petrol stations. It really hurts my hands to use the heavy metal nozzle. Their petrol prices are usually the lowest in my area. (read more)

The service you get from Sainsburys is really dependent on the attitude of staff at your local store. But unlike other brands you do get good value for money & loyalty points. (read more)

Written on: 18/06/2005 by dave74
My first experience of a Sainsbury's Petrol station was in Braehead Glasgow. The station was not busy and it all seemed clean and safe. The paying kiosk was really pleasant with a range of different products at the stores low prices. The staff were very cheerful and one young lad even made me laugh. I would recommend Sainsbury's petrol to anyone for both quality and top class service. (read more)

Written on: 01/04/2005 by smelly kelly (22 reviews written)
Sainsburys petrol is good value for money, it seems to be in competition with Tesco. The added bonus of using Sainsburys for petrol is tht you earn 2 Necter points per pound, rather than BP's 1. Also the station has a lot of products from the main store on sale for no extra cost such as wine, sandwichs, biscuits, bread etc. (read more)

You don't earn any more points than at BP, both give you 1 point per litre of fuel.

You are not alone, but I find this happens in my car when I use Tesco fuel. Not sure nowadays, but Tesco used to be Esso supplied, and this fuel also served my car poorly. For me, I get most out of BP petrol or our local Sainsbury, which leads me to the conclusion that our local Sainsburys' has actually got BP in the tanker. My local sainsbury's is also a couple of pence cheaper than the BP across the road. Maybe it is worth trying £10 of BP to see if this gives you similar mileage to your sainsburys? Good Luck.
