Guest Guest66881 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Today is the last chance for motorists to benefit from heavily discounted fuel shopper dockets, with supermarket giants to reluctantly shelve their biggest cut-price petrol deals in the new year. In a last hurrah, Coles yesterday upped its discount to 25 cents a litre off petrol at its Shell service stations for customers who bought $100 or more of groceries. Woolworths has declined to match the offer but is giving customers dockets for 20 cents a litre off petrol at its Caltex outlets for spending $100 or more in its stores, plus an extra 4 cents if they spend $5 at the petrol station store. From tomorrow, the retail chains will limit their offer to 4 cents a litre for customers making eligible purchases at their supermarkets after bowing to pressure from the competition watchdog. Service stations owned by the companies will be able to offer larger discounts but they will have to be funded out of fuel retailing or petrol station store sales. At the peak of the fuel war, shoppers were being wooed with discounts as high as 45 cents a litre off their petrol. But small business argued it was forcing independent service stations out of business and accused the chains of subsidising their discounts from their grocery profits. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/latest/a/20543825/last-day-for-big-fuel-discounts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
