Asda, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury's have all sliced up to 2p a litre off the price of petrol.

Four major spermarkets have entered into another petrol price war.

Asda led the way by announcing it would cut petrol prices by 2p a litre, meaning customers there would pay no more than 133.7p at the pumps.

Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco have now followed suit with cuts of up to 2p to their own petrol prices.

The price cuts follow falls in the wholesale cost of petrol. Sadly, there’s not been a similar fall in diesel wholesale costs so prices won’t be changing.
