Drivers at a Nottingham petrol station which recently slashed its prices have slammed the "ridiculous" effects of the cost of living crisis - with one man saying it has "blown him to pieces." On Friday, July 29, Asda announced it had cut its petrol prices, 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. Local branches include 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 Yet, despite drivers welcoming the drop, some at Hyson Green in Nottingham on Saturday, July 30, called out the 'disgraceful' money that people are still having to churn out for fuel. Adam Stoker, 35, said: "It's the reason I came here but, well, I'm not optimistic about it. The prices will be straight back up again soon - it won't last long..
