'Big Four' supermarkets announce petrol price cuts.

The nation's four biggest supermarkets have announced they will be cutting the price of petrol.

Asda will be cutting and capping the price of petrol by up to 2p per litre today  (23rd September 2015). It has a nationwide cap in place, so you will pay no more than 105.7p per litre. Diesel will remain at the same price of 107.7 pence per litre.

Tesco will also be reducing the price of unleaded petrol by up to 2p per litre from 1pm today, so if you can, you should hold off on refueling until then.

Meanwhile Sainsbury's will cut the price of unleaded petrol by up to 2p per litre from tomorrow (24th September 2014).

Updated 14:24 23/09/15: Morrisons has now also confirmed a price cut on petrol of up to 2p per litre, starting today. 

According to PetrolPrices.com, the average price of a litre of unleaded petrol in the UK is currently 110.74p.

Good news for motorists

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "This is yet more good news for petrol car drivers who have enjoyed prices coming down in August as a result of a barrel of oil staying around or below $50 since the end of July.”

Williams said that the move would hopefully drive the price of unleaded petrol back towards its six-year average low of 106p per litre, which we saw in January.
