Cut the cost of take away coffee

They don't justify it, they don't need to. You're a captive audience .... you either don't need/want fuel or you pay £1,549 pence a litre 

+1👍🏻, if you pay the price they ask then you are part of the problem not the solution.

I call it rip off MM, 20p is excessive. It was my fault for not checking the fuel gauge before accessing the motorway.. Locally it is £1.319.

I would warrant that a lot of the fuel bought is by reps who aren't paying for it personally. It's surprising how direct responsibility focuses the mind.

That's an absolute rip-off, no question. £3.10 for a flat white  and it's lousy coffee as well. Don't like Starbucks. 

I rarely stop for fuel on motorways. Probably once every two years at most I guess. When I do I fill up. As it is so infrequent I simply don't worry about it.

Biggest price cut in take-way coffee is to not take it away at all but make it yourself. That way you get your favourite brand and no worries about whether the cup etc is clean.

Used the My Esso Card/Pump King thinggy today for the first time at an "Esso" station in Dumfries which actually seems to be Tesco in disguise. Well away from motorways but still had motorway prices. So perhaps if one MUST have Starbucks coffee (yeuch) then pick a services with Esso branded pumps.

I read it as two flat whites for £3.10? Seems pretty good to me. Given that on motorway service stations its a choice of only Costa or Starbucks I think I prefer Starbucks coffee. Margaret always goes for the coffee so I have to accept what I am given!!!

Esso was £129.9 with esso card when i filled up yesterday

You have been ripped off twice peedee. Fuel and coffee. The cost conscious person just does not use service stations. If you want simple, good value coffee and something to eat few places beat Greggs. But they don’t sell fuel. Sticking to motorways in UK means you are a captive wallet, take some of the A roads and you will find some great places to break a journey. We cross from East to West via M69, then take to A roads down to Tewkesbury when heading to SW. Break our journey at Evesham Country Park. Lots of delicious eateries, some retail therapy if we have time, and a decent walk for us and dog. 

Or we make filter coffee in our MH for next to nothing😁 Sometimes we even cook a quick meal!
