Member Offer: My Esso Card

On the way to the National I was able to use the card for the first time "for real" on the motorway network. The reassurance of knowing the price in advance was good, but what was really heartening was the 22p per litre saving on the pump price.

This will be what gets the average up to the 8p mentioned in the original post.

In response to Surfer.

In one of my earlier posts on this subject I quoted that if it looks too good to be true then it very often is.

Why would I want to use my Esso card at a cost of £1.315 when I purchased from J Sainsbury at a cost of £1.229 last Friday,unleaded fuel.

There seem to be very few motorway Esso service stations and I am not sure how you can find them?  Generally we make sure that the vehicle is full before we leave and that it has enough fuel to get to our destination or stop over where we can disconnect and fuel up again.  Obviously those travelling from further afield may not have this luxury.

The 1,31.9 was  for diesel it is 129,5 this week which is 3p cheaper than any other fuel in this area

22p a litre cheaper ?? maybe 2p  paying 127p diesel.

Thanks.  Only one on the M5 and as it is only about 30 miles from our home so unlikely to use.  The A routes could be handy.  I wonder if there is an Esso POI for the Satnav that you can download.  There is an app for the phone but it is to pay.

You have to register to use the main features of the app.  I haven't bothered.  There's a button marked 'station' at the bottom of the home page which still works.  Just toggle the map from 'mobile pay stations' to 'all esso stations' and all my local essos pop up.

Though I notice that a fuel station which recently changed from esso to texaco is still on the map/list.

I do the same sometimes, but lately have made note of a few likely Esso Stations in an area prior to a trip using the website >>

Last night I filled up at the most expensive Esso filling station in Bath safe in the knowledge that my discount would be applied by Pump King. Imagine my annoyance when I had to pay this astronomic price because my card was not accepted. I have used my Esso card some six times without a hitch. Today was the first time it had not been accepted, in fact the attendant said that his screen said that my card had been stolen! Has Pump King disabled all the old cards that were originally issued?  I wonder if I am the only member who has not received the promised new card?
