Sainsbury's operates fuel at its larger stores rather than across the whole estate, so coverage is patchier than Tesco or Asda. Where a forecourt does exist it is usually priced to match the nearest supermarket rival, which means Sainsbury's is rarely the outright cheapest in a town but rarely far off it either.

Nectar points on fuel are the obvious draw, and they add up over a year of commuting. The maths is the same as every loyalty scheme though: the points are worth a fraction of a penny per litre, so a competitor three pence cheaper down the road still wins.

Sainsbury's sites tend to cluster around the commuter belt and larger towns, which is also where local competition is fiercest. That works in your favour, because those are the forecourts with the most reason to keep prices sharp.
