Tesco is offering shoppers a 5 per cent discount off the cost of filling their fuel tank when they spend £60 in store.

The customers will receive a coupon to save 5 per cent off diesel and unleaded petrol following their transaction before 16 August.

The coupon is fully redeemable at Tesco-branded forecourts across the UK from now until 23 August.

The retailer runs over 500 filling stations across the UK, and the move aims to help customers save on essential costs this summer.

Tesco UK CEO Ashwin Prasad said: “At Tesco, we are always looking at how we can deliver great value for our customers and the extra ways we can help them make even more savings this summer.

“We hope this extra saving at the pumps will make life a little easier for families, just in time for the summer holidays and those all-important beach trips and getaways.”

The supermarket retailer has also launched other cost-saving initiatives including its Freebie Thursdays, which offers millions of coupons for free products to Clubcard members.

Additionally, Tesco recently extended its Kids Eat Free offer to include weekends for the first time this summer.

As part of the deal, there is no minimum spend for the adult purchase and there is no limit on the number of kids’ meals which can be redeemed to allow families of all sizes to benefit.
