Australian supermarket operator Coles Myer has forecast a sharp rise in sales as it launched its discount fuel alliance with the Australian unit of Royal Dutch/Shell Group.

Coles Myer is hoping the move will help in win back market share from rival Woolworths, which has been offering discounted fuel for several years.
Coles Myer is offering a 4 cents per litre discount on fuel for customers who spend more than A$30 (US$19.9) at the company’s supermarkets or liquor stores, a similar offer to Woolworths’ current fuel discount scheme.
More than 80% of Coles supermarkets are located within five kilometres of an alliance fuel outlet, but this rises to 90% in Australia’s main cities.
Coles Myer expects the fuel programme to contribute more than A$3bn in annual sales and expects the sales growth to happen fairly fast, reported Dow Jones International News.
