TRONDHEIM (DinSide): “Mom, we’re almost there, right?”
Yes, it’s that time of year again. The time when the car is full of bags full of swimming trunks, swimming goggles, a beach towel, and five bottles of sunscreen. Yes, and a thick jacket. You never know if a blizzard will suddenly happen during the summer holidays.
After only a few kilometers, you will realize that the food packages you smeared are still on the kitchen table, so there will be food for the gas station on this trip as well.
And there is money to be saved by choosing the right station.
Norway vacation: – Decisive
Prices differences
in a survey he conducted Response analysis on behalf of the insurance company Fremtind in May, as many as 47 percent reported that changes in the economy are affecting their summer vacation plans. Half of these choose a lower vacation budget.
36 percent of them drop the trip abroad.
And if you’re among the many vacationing along the roads of our long country this summer, there’s money to be saved by choosing the right gas station. This is evidenced by our DinSide price test.
25 percent
DinSide compare prices at the four big chains along the way: Esso (Deli de Luca in this case), Circle K, Shell, and Yx. The price test took place in Trondheim on the 29th of June.
The largest difference in prices is found for cheese and bacon. While sausages cost NOK 65 at Shell, Yx and Circle K, they only cost NOK 49 at Esso Deli de Luca, which was on offer when visiting DinSide. A price difference of nearly 25 percent!
The price without the offer is NOK 62, which makes the sausage the cheapest in the test.
On the other hand, the baguette with cheese and ham is the most expensive in Esso, for which you have to pay 72 NOK for a baguette. At competitor Yx, the same baguette costs just NOK 59, which is a saving of about 20 percent.
