Asda has slashed the price of petrol - with it now 12p a litre cheaper than the national average. Bosses have cut the price of petrol by 5p a litre and diesel by 3p.
The cuts have been announced to help drivers save money amid the cost of living crisis. Asda has stores locally in Hyson Green and West Bridgford.
It means drivers filling up at the Asda forecourts will pay 174p on average for unleaded and 185p for diesel. In comparison to the national picture, Government figures have shown the average petrol price to be 186.67p this week. With the average for diesel 195.91p.

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. It applies to Asda's 323 petrol stations across the UK
AA fuel price spokesman Luke Bosdet said: “Asda’s price move is impressive, in effect cutting 10p a litre off the UK average price of petrol. That’s potentially a fiver off a tank for those filling up this weekend, compared to the artificially-high prices on too many major retailer forecourts and in too many towns.
“First, it was a few dozen small independent forecourts showing up the big boys. Now, Asda has called them out with on average a fiver off the cost of a tank of petrol. Latest UK pump price averages have petrol at 184.50p a litre (July 27).”
