Congratulations to all in Bradford that got their petrol for 12.9p per ltr hahaha some silly person put the decimal point in the wrong place.. folk were filling there cars for £4.. great to get one over on the government..

Good on those who bagged themselves a bargain but it wasn't the government who lost out, it was Asdah.

Can't believe it took the staff so long to notice. Hubby thinks they all invited their friends and family down for a fill-up before it got changed!

publicity stunt me thinks

[gardenergirl]

I wish they'd pull a publicity stunt like that up here!

[wendy]

why can't that be down here ?.

[Benny&Co]

Here too!

But good for those who filled up for £4

As Meredith said, it wasn't the government that lost out, it was Asda, which means, in the end, the customer.
You don't really think that they will take that kind of loss smiling do you? Their margins will be protected one way or another, as it would be in any other well-run business.
As for why did the staff not notice, our Asda run a self-service system, where you pay in advance with plastic only, so there are no staff on site to notice a mistake such as this.

I would imagine that the small amount of fuel that was sold will not make a dint in the companies profits.
