Supermarket giant Asda has today announced it will be slashing the price of petrol and diesel. Motorists will see 5p cut from their petrol bills and 3p from diesel.
It means the average price of petrol will be 174ppl while diesel will cost 185ppl. The latest price reduction follows a cut of 4ppl earlier in the week, meaning the supermarket has reduced fuel prices by 9ppl on unleaded and 7ppl on diesel since the start of the week.
The move will be in place at all of the 323 petrol stations across the UK, reports BirminghamLive. AA fuel price spokesman Luke Bosdet commented on the drop, saying: “Asda’s price move is impressive, in effect cutting 10p a litre off the UK average price of petrol.
