Supermarkets launch fuel price war

[Haqa]

Supermarkets have launched a petrol price war, with three of Britain's biggest chains cutting the cost of unleaded and diesel by up to 5p a litre.

Supermarket chain Asda announced it would cut the cost of unleaded and diesel by 3p a litre, and Morrisons swiftly followed suit by cutting the price of unleaded and diesel by 4p a litre.

Sainsbury's said it was cutting petrol by 5p a litre from Thursday for customers who spent £50 or more in stores. The promotion will run for two weeks.

Asda and Morrisons said they were responding to the recent drop in the price of oil. The price of a barrel of oil dropped from a peak of 147 dollars to 130 dollars in recent weeks.

They'll probably get fined for price fixing.

Yeah, bring the cost of fuel down will reduce the money the government can't steal... They have to reverse their reverse of the tax hike...
