About each brand

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.

Tesco is one of the UK's largest supermarket fuel retailers, with filling stations attached to most of its Extra and Superstore branches. Fuel at Tesco is largely a convenience product designed to drive grocery footfall, which is why prices sit close to other supermarkets and typically undercut oil-major brands like Shell and BP on standard grades. Tesco forecourts adjust their prices locally, so sites near other supermarkets tend to be more aggressive than rural Tesco sites with less nearby competition. Tesco is a Clubcard partner on fuel, with the standard collection rate at 1 point per 2 litres and enhanced rates for Clubcard Pay+ and Tesco Bank credit card holders.
