Little-known way to get FREE fuel from Tesco and Esso

DRIVERS can save money on fuel with a major supermarket loyalty scheme.

Petrol prices are down from the record levels they hit in June - but many drivers are still looking for ways to save at the pumps.

The AA reports that petrol prices fell to 173.46p a litre on Thursday and diesel to 184.21p.

Tesco Clubcard members can use their points to get money off fuel at the supermarket's forecourts as well as selected Esso filling stations.

You can collect Clubcard points and use Clubcard vouchers at any of the 200 Esso filling stations that have a Tesco Express on site.

To find your nearest Esso branded service station with a Tesco Express shop head to  webpage.

If you use a Clubcard, you earn one point for every £1 you spend at Tesco, or one point for every £2 you spend on fuel.

You'll get a £1.50 voucher for every 150 points you get, which can be used on fuel - or groceries and days out if you prefer.

It's worth pointing out though, that using your Clubcard points on fuel isn't the most efficient way to spend them.

With some retailers, you can triple the value of your points - meaning you get a lot more bang for your buck.

That means your £1.50 voucher could be worth £4.50 if you spend it at one of Clubcard's reward partners such as Pizza Express, Prezzo or Legoland.

So if you're looking to maximise your rewards, the petrol forecourt isn't your best bet - but if you just want to save some money on fuel, then it could be worth using your points.

Both paper vouchers and digital vouchers on the Tesco Clubcard app are accepted at these petrol stations.

All you need to is present them to the cashier when you pay for your fuel.
