After loads of these parrotted press releases, the prices are still pretty similar, and MSE never foreshadows increases
It's well overdue to drop the hyperbole about fuel price war.
edit: and the overworn cliche involving sparks

They keep their heads down when they increase prices, but issue press releases when they drop them by a penny.
Supply and demand or lack of local competition?
Asda have a maximum amount policy so it doesn't really apply to them.
I heard the Government was looking into reducing duty to compensate.
they are always between 1p and 2p higher than the nearest competitor.
a few days later the competitors put their prices up. then usually the tesco's hikes their prices again to suit.
come on moneysavingexperts! this reluctance to drop prices by tesco's surely shows how they are trying to influence others.
in one case there is a tesco petrol station right opposite a morrisons one. and yet morrisons is always cheaper!
and having used both i get better range with the cheaper fuel!
There is no justification.
These big supermarkets are not our "friends" - they are there to exploit as much money out of us as possible.
They do that by screwing over as many people as they can.
I cant see how they can. With cars ever more fuel efficient, tax revenue from fuel is way down on what they used to get.
For example this last weekend I saw diesel for 136.9 in Newbury & Basingstoke, where in Salisbury it was 140.9.
