Asda And Tesco Slash Fuel Prices As Christmas Price War Intensifies
Perennial supermarket rivals have intensified their Christmas price war, slashing petrol prices by as much as 3 pence a litre.
Asda fired the first shot by cutting the price on Sunday of unleaded petrol to 103.9 p a litre and the cost of diesel to 105.9 p a litre at 179 of its petrol stations.
Before Asda effected the changes, average UK unleaded petrol prices stood at 108.9 p, whilst the average UK diesel price was 110.2 p
David Miles, Asda’s commercial director, said: “With Christmas just around the corner, it’s a time when cash is tight and we want to help our customers make it go further. With this early Christmas present, we’re putting money back in our customers’ pockets wherever they fill up by moving quickly to pass the saving on as our costs fall.”
A spokesperson for Tesco said the retailers price cut would aid million of customers travelling to see family or friends during the holiday season.
She said: “We’re committed to being competitively priced on petrol and with hundreds of petrol stations throughout the country, customers can trust they will get a good price on petrol at Tesco .”
