Much the same at the Co-op petrol station on Worksop Rd @ Aston they are always top price.

Tesco (and other fuel suppliers) adjust their prices to reflect local competition. If other local garages were selling fuel 3p cheaper then Tesco would too.

I live in Sheffield, my parents live near Barnsley. Tesco fuel prices are usually in this order: Abbeydale Road is the dearest, then Saville St, then Wath-upon-Dearne, then Stairfoot at Barnsley. There can be as much as 4 or 5 pence a litre difference between the top and bottom prices. Guess where I fill up when I go to see mum and dad !!

 

I always get the feeling that a lot of retailers, not just fuel stations, charge what they think they can get away with

At Wakefield Sainsbury's and Morrison's were usually 1p a litre cheaper than Sheffield, however Morrison's used to charge different prices even in Sheffield not sure if they still do.

Jet in Crosspool is a high class rip-off merchant.

 

Little competition locally, it happens to be the last chance to fill-up before you go over the Snake Pass (A57).

It isn't a rip off it reflects the costs of operating and trying to stay affloat in a competitive market. They are probably making little more than 5% mark up on their fuel before paying overheads.

 

In Hope there is a filling station that charges around 8p/litre more than Sheffield prices. The place has small tanks and has to pay a premium for split loads. But the locals are happy enough to buy there because if it closed they would have to drive a long way to find fuel. In a similar spirit folks buy in local shops rather than supermarkets to preserve a local resource.

 

It's not always about price.
