Motorists have been given a boost by membership-only retailer Costco, who have announced reductions in petrol and diesel prices.
They have slashed petrol by 8p a litre to £147.7p, making it 12p cheaper than the average price at supermarket pumps and 14p less than than the national average, while diesel at Costco is on sale at its 19 forecourts for an average of 171.6p – that’s almost 14.5p less than the UK average. There’s a Costco station in Chester that is offering unleaded petrol for just £142.9 per lite and charging £166.9p for diesel, The Express reports.
RAC Fuel Watch suggests that petrol and diesels should fall sharply this week, with the breakdown organisation calling on the ‘Big Four’ supermarkets – Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s – to cut their prices to assists drivers who have been hit hard by some of the most expensive prices at the pumps this year.
