The big four supermarkets are cutting the price of their fuel again.
Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco are all knocking a further 2p off their petrol and diesel.
The Tesco cut takes effect from this afternoontook effect yesterday, while the reductions by the other three companies will kick in today.
For Asda customers, the latest reduction means they will pay no more than 103.7p a litre on petrol, with diesel at 110.7p a litre.
The reductions have come after it was revealed that a Birmingham service station had cut the price of its petrol to 99.7p a litre.
The RAC, which has been forecasting that petrol prices would dip below the £1-a-litre mark, welcomed the news of the Birmingham service station price cut.
But the AA said that, although welcome, the Birmingham reduction “appears to be a publicity stunt rather than a reflection of general pump prices”.
AA president Edmund King said: “There remains a postcode lottery out there when it comes to fuel prices.
“Drivers in rural areas are still paying much more than the £1.09 average price and in some places £1.18.
“It will still take some time to get down to an average of £1 per litre, particularly as 70% of the pump price is tax (57.95p duty and 18.3p VAT).”
