    I assume that as the article doesn't mention Diesel, that once again this cut in price doesn't apply to it?

    Thanks

    "Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons will cut unleaded petrol costs by up to 1p per litre, and for diesel by up to 2p, on all forecourts."

    I'll get 60p then. Just a shame that at my local petrol station diesel is 9p per litre more. The difference was about 3p in August!

    Not only that, but also doing it thinking they are advertising their generosity and support for hard-working families blah blah blah, but really all they are demonstrating is that they act in a chummy little cartel.

    Non news!

    will we get an article when the costs slowly creeps up by a penny here and a penny there? That is what happens when a 2 or 3 pence price drop happens. Nobody is going to notice a penny either way so fail to see how this is news.

    However I do think whilst we're on the subject the people who are shouting about quantitative easing may well have a point. I'm not sure what else could account for the high prices here. Sure there is tax but that's always been there to grossly inflate the cost.
