TWO major supermarkets have announced they are cutting the price of unleaded petrol and diesel.
From tomorrow, Saturday 23rd September, Sainsbury’s is cutting the price of unleaded petrol by up to 2 pence per litre and diesel by 1 pence per litre across its 309 forecourts, providing great value for millions of motorists across the UK.
Keith Black, Sainsbury’s Petrol Category Manager, said: “This is a nice piece of news for our customers on the roads this weekend.
"We always aim to provide our customers with fantastic prices and great quality across all of our products and services and we hope this price drop will help them to keep costs down as they start thinking ahead to Christmas."
Meanwhile, ASDA are also cutting the price at the pumps too.
They will be dropping the price of fuel by up to 2ppl on unleaded and 1ppl on diesel bringing prices down to a new national price cap of 115.7ppl on unleaded and 116.7ppl on diesel at all 308 filling stations.
Asda’s Head of Petrol Trading Dave Tyrer said:
“Today’s latest move shows that Asda is once again leading the way in reducing the price at the pumps following recent sharp increases caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
"At a time when many garages and supermarkets are charging in excess of 120.9ppl, ASDA’s new price cap of 115.7ppl on unleaded and 116.7ppl on diesel will be welcomed by the millions of drivers”
