The offer will be a welcome relief for motorists who have seen the cost of fuel spiral in recent months to their highest prices in four years.

To take advantage of Tesco's offer, you need to spend at least £60 after discounts and promotions are applied on one shop either in-store or online between now and November 4.
When you pay for your groceries in store, you'll be given a receipt that will include a fuel discount coupon - this must be redeemed within two weeks.
If you're shopping online, you'll get a leaflet containing the fuel coupon when your groceries are delivered or when you Click+Collect - this has to be used by November 18.
Three ways to cut your fuel costs
HERE are three ways to drive down your fuel costs:
- Make your car more fuel-efficient. You can do this by keeping your tyres inflated, taking the roof rack off, emptying your car of clutter and turning off your air con when driving at lower speeds.
- Find the cheapest fuel prices. Use PetrolPrices.com. All you need to do is enter your postcode and tell it how far you want to travel (up to 20 miles).
- Drive more efficiently. Some ways to do this, include:
- Accelerate gradually without over-revving
- Always drive on the highest possible gear
- If you can, allow your car to slow down naturally as your brake is a money burner
- Re-starting your car is expensive, if you can, keep moving
To redeem the coupon, simply fill up your car at a Tesco petrol station - up to a maximum amount of 100 litres - and hand over the coupon to get your discount.
The offer gives you 10p off every litre of fuel. So say you load your car with 30 litres of unleaded at the average price of 131.6p, you'll save £3 taking your bill from £39.48 to £36.48.
