Recently, it has been spotted that fuel prices are cheaper at independent petrol stations in comparison to their supermarket counterparts. This comes after supermarkets were slammed for not dropping petrol prices despite falling wholesale costs.
According to the motoring group RAC, garages were not cutting fuel prices by as much as they should to match the "significant" price drop on the other end, with the likes of Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons accused of being among the biggest retailers who have failed to do so.
At the end of August, independent DA Roberts Fuels in the Shropshire town of Whitchurch was said to have the cheapest price in Britain at 154.9p a litre for unleaded petrol at one point. On Friday, the petrol station advertised its prices for the weekend at 149.9p for petrol and 176.9p for diesel. Meanwhile, oil experts said that supermarkets were charging customers almost £10 more than independent forecourts.
