A supermarket has cut fuel prices but the move should have happened “much sooner”, a motoring services company said. Asda has decreased the cost of petrol across its 320 UK filling stations by an average of 4.5p per litre in the past two days, according to the RAC.
Diesel prices have been cut by an average of 5.5p per litre. Asda did not announce it was making the price reductions.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “While we’re pleased one major supermarket retailer has finally started heeding our calls to pass on the enormous drop in the wholesale prices of both fuels, the fact these price cuts have been made so quietly is surely admission that they should have come much sooner.
