Hang about.......

Can't believe I didn't notice this before , either that or they changed it at some point and didn't make it obvious. (or it just too late in the evening when I made that earlier post)

Shell actually pays you points per 1 Litre, whereas Tesco is per £1 !!!!!

Petrol was £1.36 per litre last time I went to Tesco and £1.39 last time I went to shell (yes, I just got my receipts out and checked. )

I hope I have done my maths correctly now but it is sunday evening

Tesco = 1.63 Avios per litre = 1.2 Avios per £
Tesco (with Tesco credit card) = 3.26 Avios per lite = 2.4 Avios per £
Shell = 0.5 Avios per litre = 0.35 per £
Shell(v-power petrol) = 1 Avios per litre = 0.7 per £
