HOW COME PETROL IS 2P CHEAPER HALF AN HOUR DOWN THE A19 FROM BLYTH - ARE WE PAYING FOR THEIR REDUCTION? WE USED TO BE CHEAPER THAN THE MIDLANDS - NOW THEY ARE CHEAPER OR THE SAME. THE QUEUES CAN BE AWFUL AT BLYTH - EVEN IN THE BUSY TIME THERE IS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT ONLY ONE TILL OPEN. DREAD XMAS WHEN THE MANAGER CAUSES CHAOS ON THE ROADS - HE ONLY ALLOWS CARS ONE WAY, SO CARS HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMEONE PARKS, CAUSING TRAFFIC JAMS FOR OVER A MILE AND BLOCKING TRAFFIC AT EVERY JUNCTION. NOT IMPRESSED WITH ORGANISATION!!!

Warning - Asda fuel: I filled up at Asda in Swindon on Friday and I've noticed that they charged me an extra £1 on top of the fuel charge. Rang up customer services to be told that they would be refunding it in a couple of days with an apology. Reading the internet this seems to happen in Asda quite a lot so if you fill up there check your bank statements. I'll certainly never fill up there again. Have reported the matter to local trading standards authority asking that they investigate.

The asda automated card payment petrol stations do not recognise a natwest debit card, just had an absolute farse as i was nearly out of petrol and went to one of these stations, inserted my card and my pin and it told me my card was not authorised.....very confused i tried again and the same thing happened, i rang my bank thinking there was a problem with my card and they confirmed that the asda automated petrol stations dont recognise natwest cards! Thankfully there was another petrol station not far away and i had no problems there, just be aware of this anyone using these faster payment services as they dont always work!!!!!

Filled up my RAV4 with a full tank of diesel. Have now had to have a fuel filter and housing replaced...still hasn't solved problem so whole fuel system has had to be flushed including taking the tank out and flushing! Cost a fortune! Anyone else had problems with Straiton ASDA - the garage think their diesel is at fault!

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 Europe. I urge motorists to join the Fair Fuel campaign, to fight against the blatent profiteering in this country both in the price of fuel and the excessive tax. I am seething at Asda's move as I regularly fill up at Asda St.Helens and am angered at the signs showing the huge price difference. We also shop regularly at Asda need I say this will not be happening in future. Really help the motorist by equalising petrol and diesel prices then perhaps we will see the caring sharing Asda, that does not exist any more, start to return again.

i have just found out that asda charge £1.00 for using card payments at the card ony pumps do all the supermarkets do this or is it just asda

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 fuel is so dirty that it eventually clogs the fuel filter and starves the engine of fuel. They gave my son a sample of the fuel from the tank as evidence and it had a lot of dirt/sludge in the bottom. Please avoid ASDA Spennymoor Diesel pumps or this could possibly happen to you!

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. Also if the pumps are not busy you can put your card into another pump within 24 hours & get a copy receipt. I note the people with the fuel problems are putting £10-£20 in at a time, don't!! fill it up every time, you will still only use the same amount & in fact will save as you are not going to fill up so often & use fuel getting to the pumps. That way any s**t in the bottom of the tank tends to stay there. make sure your vehicle is serviced regularly, dirty diesel is not a problem IF the fuel filter is changed regularly.
