Anyone planning to fill up their car at a major supermarkets has been warned by the RAC that the big chains are "cutting prices too slowly" following a 9p fall in July.
The multi automotive services group was very critical of the pricing policy of the the big four supermarkets - Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's. RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "July has been an unnecessarily tough month for drivers due to the big four supermarkets' unwillingness to cut their prices to a more a reasonable level, reflecting the consistent and significant reductions in the wholesale cost of petrol and diesel.
"As it was, we saw independent retailers leading the charge with fairer pump prices appearing all around the country which eventually forced the supermarkets to finally implement a more substantial cut late last Friday afternoon"
