Tesco has launched an unprecedented promotion that offers motorists a saving of up to 50ppl on the forecourt.

This means Tesco customers who take full advantage of the promotion can fill up their tank with petrol or diesel at prices not seen since 2008. The deal includes a number of kitchen cupboard staples and household essentials such as Heinz Tomato Ketchup and Andrex toilet paper with customers receiving a 10ppl off voucher with each purchase.

David Wood, Tesco’s UK marketing director, said: "Up to five 10ppl vouchers can be used at the same time at our petrol filling stations. This means Tesco customers who take full advantage of this promotion will save 50p on every litre of fuel they buy on our forecourts and they will enjoy the lowest fuel prices by far anywhere in the UK."
