Supermarkets cut their petrol prices again as oil price stays low

Three of the UK's largest supermarkets have announced that they are cutting unleaded fuel prices at their petrol stations
Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco have announced another round of petrol price cuts at their petrol stations.
Asda will be cutting and capping the price of petrol by up to 2p per litre today (September 24). 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.
Meanwhile Sainsbury's will cut the price of unleaded petrol by up to 2p per litre from tomorrow (September 24).
According to fuel price comparison website 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.
Typically, as one of the ‘Big Four’ supermarkets cuts its petrol prices, the others soon follow suit. We will be updating this article throughout the day as and when other price cuts are announced.
