Is anyone still using the PumpKing 'discount' card? For several weeks the weekly price has been 2 or even three pence dearer than my two local Esso garages and about 8 pence dearer than my local Sainsburys.

I usually get a text every Friday with the next week's prices but so far, Saturday afternoon, I haven't even got this. Have PumpKing given up?

    Then you should only be charged at local price, or don't use the card.

    It does save good money when being used in  lots of areas that do not have many fuel stations competing for your custom,and even then it should give a penny  per ltr off the cheapest esso price

    Sometimes, (to answer the OP).  Last week we had a spate of price rises locally, and the PumpKing price even beat Asda & Sainsbury's, so out came the card....  This week, prices at the supermarket have fallen back a little, but PK is still slightly cheaper.  Also it is much closer to my local Esso that to the supermarket - so, unless I am passing the supermarket, it's sometimes not worth the extra journey.
