Asda has brought in a fuel price cut of up to 2ppl on diesel and unleaded.

Effective from yesterday (August 1), Asda’s new national price cap will bring diesel down to 106.7ppl and unleaded down to 105.7ppl at all its 272 petrol stations.

The supermarket is the only retailer that has a national price cap on fuel at all of its filling stations, ensuring every single one of its customers knows the maximum price they will pay at the pump regardless of where they live.

Tesco is also cutting the cost of fuel by up to 2ppl at all of its petrol stations.

The changes came into effect from 5pm yesterday afternoon.

Andy Peake, Asda’s senior director for petrol, said: “It’s the start of the summer holidays and we know families will be getting out and about all across the country which is why we’re dropping the price of fuel."

Drivers will pay no more than 106.7ppl for diesel and 105.7ppl on unleaded at any Asda forecourt across the country.

“At Asda we always pass on any savings we can make to our customers, so it’s great to see that costs have dropped despite early predictions that the cost of fuel would increase following the outcome of the EU Referendum." added Mr Peake.
