Asda’s Fuel Prices: The Big Surprise?
Quick headline: Asda turns out to be the most expensive supermarket fuel shop in the country – even though it once claimed to lead the pack.
Three Big Players Notches a Deal in the Fuel Race
- Morrisons & Tesco: £2.1p cheaper than Asda for petrol.
- Diesel? These rivals were £2.5p lighter on the river.
So, what’s the bottom line?
Despite the hotter summer and advertised lower prices, the difference is creeping along. The average drop is so small it feels like a tip‑toe, not a full sprint.
Why the Drag? A Word from an Insider
Rod Dennis, a senior policy officer, summed it up: “We’re chasing a slow‑poke reduction. While it’s a good kind of patience for drivers, it’s still a concern. Pump prices should flow downhill sort of fast, not tip‑slow down as if they were on a rollercoaster made of feathers.”
Maybe the “Rocket & Feather” Affects Everyone
Fuel farm prices are like weather forecasts – they can wait an entire month to equalize. It feels like waiting for a subway to finally get moving after a schedule shuffle.
What’s Asda Saying?
“In May we cut both unleaded and diesel by 2.31p per litre and we’re also testing a new reward on the Asda Rewards app – get a 0.5% rebate in your Cashpot,” reads the spokesperson.
Still Trying to Keep the Crown
Even though the prize isn’t under Asda’s flag as of now, the supermarket still claims the title earned in the “Supermarket Fuel Race” for the record low price earlier this year.
