Morrisons starts charging for air at petrol stations
Morrisons has scrapped a scheme which offered customers free air for their tyres when they spent £15 or more on fuel at its petrol stations.
Previously, customers who bought £15+ of fuel at a Morrisons petrol station were given a voucher for free air. For those without vouchers, it cost 20p a minute to use the machine.
But now all customers will need to pay to use the air machines, although it will now cost 10p a minute.
A Morrisons spokesperson said: "We have installed new air machines across all of our petrol stations.
"To offer lower-cost air to all of our customers, we've introduced a 10p minimum vend."
While many petrol stations charge for air, Sainsbury's says it offers free air for tyres at the majority of its petrol stations.
