Warning issued for drivers buying petrol at Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's
A warning has been issued to drivers who may refuel at leading supermarket or petrol chains that prices may be cut too slowly following a 9p decrease in prices since July. The RAC has criticised four chain supermarkets - Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's for not reducing their prices faster.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "July has been an unnecessarily tough month for drivers due to the big four supermarkets' unwillingness to cut their prices to a more a reasonable level, reflecting the consistent and significant reductions in the wholesale cost of petrol and diesel.
AA president Edmund King also slammed the major retailers for failing to reduce their prices, branding it "unforgivable". He said: "Average UK pump prices are down by around 9.5p a litre for petrol and 7p for diesel compared to early July. But, since early June, wholesale petrol is down 20p-25p a litre depending on whether or not you factor in VAT.
