About each brand

MORRISONS View brand page →

Morrisons operates a substantial network of filling stations attached to its supermarkets, making it one of the UK's "big four" supermarket fuel retailers alongside Tesco, ASDA and Sainsbury's. Morrisons typically tracks ASDA's pricing closely, and the relaunched Morrisons More loyalty scheme (points-based, relaunched 2023) rewards fuel spend: members earn 5 More points per litre, with occasional double-points promotions. 5,000 points converts to a £5 "Fiver" voucher redeemable in-store or online. Morrisons also operates separate Morrisons Daily convenience-style forecourts, many of which are franchised — these may price differently to the main supermarket forecourts.

SAINSBURY'S View brand page →

Sainsbury's operates filling stations attached to its larger supermarket sites. Sainsbury's forecourts are generally priced in line with other big-four supermarkets but can sit a pence or two per litre above ASDA on typical days, particularly in rural areas. The main draw of Sainsbury's fuel is integration with the Nectar loyalty scheme — drivers earn 1 Nectar point per litre of fuel, with occasional multiplier promotions boosting that rate. Note that Nectar points can only be redeemed on fuel at the kiosk, not at pay-at-pump. Sainsbury's uses local competitor surveys to set prices, so sites with a Tesco or ASDA nearby track those competitors more aggressively.
