[The Q]

I've never understood why petrol varies in price so much between different branches of the same store. Surely it costs the same to supply the petrol? When they replenish the tanks it probably all comes on the same tanker anyway. Baked beans cost the same in every branch of Sainsbury's, why can't petrol?

Cheers,

Chris

There's an agreement between government and supermarkets that the supermarkets don't undercut the lowest priced other petrol station with in iirc 3 miles by a certain amount which was I think 3p. So if all the non supermarket petrol is more expensive, then so too will be the supermarket's.

Also there is a question of turnover, our local little Tesco gets 3 tanker loads a week. The big Tesco in Norwich can get through that much in a day. Both have two staff on duty at any one time.

Re two staff on at the petrol station, it used to be in the rules there had to be two staff when delivering diesel,(note not Petrol), not sure if the rules have been changed.
