DOes cutting prices by less than 2% really count as 'slashing'? Feels more like trimming to me.0

Look at a similar story that was reported a few weeks back where petrol prices were set to SOAR!!!DOes cutting prices by less than 2% really count as 'slashing'? Feels more like trimming to me.
That was the 2p increase if I remember rightly. [STRIKE]Sensationalist reporting at its finest. lol[/STRIKE] Admittedly. For those around the country that pay more than 107.9p for fuel, this is more of a slash as the article does state that the MAXIMUM drivers will pay for petrol is 102.9p. 5p/L is quite a lot. For the rest of us that pay a bit less for fuel (Currently 103.9p at my local Shell garage), we will feel the impact of this cut a whole lot less.0 -
Here are our tips:
Walk or take public transport.

i already use asda for my fuel, and have their credit card so i get 1p a litre off too, and it's round the corner from work, and it's the cheapest in the area anyway.
Asda really are starting to lead the way, but i'm not sure i can reduce my fuel bill much more0 -
The only rip off merchants are this government, petrol has risen 3 times in 8 months, and will rise in January when vat goes up again. If Darling wanted to be a 'darling' he could of let vat sink to 15% for petrol , but no he exempted it. When it rises he will put more vat on though. The motorist is an easy target! speed cameras being another prime example!0
