Supermarkets have started cutting the cost of petrol and diesel at the pumps after fuel prices hit record-high levels. The stores have been criticised for not giving drivers a fair deal, putting bosses under pressure to bring prices down.
The Mirror reports the current average cost of petrol sits at 182.11p per litre, while diesel prices are at 192.06p, according to the RAC. Fuel prices have slowly been coming down, but drivers are still paying far more than they were at the start of the year.
Almost £5 has been shaved off the cost of a 55-litre tank of petrol in recent weeks. Drivers were paying 145p for petrol on average at the start of January, while diesel stood at roughly 148p.
