RAC responds to Asda fuel price cut - unleaded petrol 99.7p per litre this weekend

RAC Fuel Watch spokesman Simon Williams said: “Due to the latest dip in the crude oil price we had predicted that the most price-competitive fuel retailers would soon be selling petrol for £1 so it is great to see that landmark price is now available across the country at the most expensive time of year.

“Even though this promotion only lasts for three days it will help to bring prices down at forecourts nationwide. While we are some way from seeing the average petrol price reach £1, prices at more and more retailers should be getting ever closer to that figure.

“RAC wholesale fuel data shows there is still scope for retailers to reduce prices further, especially for diesel.”
