Multiple supermarket forecourts across the country have introduced a new rule that will affect all motorists who choose the 'pay at pump' option when filling up on fuel.
Up until now, drivers who paid at the pump were charged with a £1 transaction for the authorisation fee before the payment for the value of the fuel was then taken between one and three days later.
However, drivers filling up their car at Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's will be charged a pre-authorisation fee of £99, reports The Liverpool Echo.
