Morrisons is offering 7p of every litre of fuel to help with the cost of fuel – but there’s a catch.
From Thursday 17th February until Sunday 27th February, customers will get a coupon entitling them to 7p off every litre of fuel when they spend £40 in our stores.
The coupon can be redeemed from Thursday 17th February until Sunday 6th March at one 339 Morrisons petrol stations across the UK.
Rachel Eyre, Chief Customer & Marketing Officer at Morrisons, said: "We know that the cost-of-living increases are really beginning to bite for everyone in the UK and we want to help our customers by saving them money on one of their biggest expenses.
“With covid restrictions now easing, customers are using their cars more often and we believe this offer will help them to spread their budgets further.”
The move comes after it emerged British drivers are facing even greater bills as petrol and diesel prices have reached a new record high.
According to the AA, both petrol and diesel were the most expensive they’ve ever been last week (Sunday, Feb 13), with the average price of petrol being 148.02p per litre – meaning filling a 55-litre family car would cost £81.41.
Meanwhile, diesel hit 151.57p per litre, meaning to fuel a 55-litre car would cost an average of £88.36. It passed the previous record of 151.10p per litre set on November 21, 2021.
Fuel prices climbed dramatically towards the end of the year, as a shortage of supply at the pumps and of petrol and diesel delivery drivers forced retailers to put their prices up. While the cost of petrol and diesel had started to plateau, with the price of oil reaching close to $100 a barrel, the RAC has warned that ‘new records could now be set on a daily basis in the coming weeks’.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
