Asda has intensified the supermarket fuel price war in the UK by announcing it will cut petrol and
diesel prices further.
Unleaded will fall by 2p to 111.9p per litre, and diesel will drop 4p to 124.9p. The prices will apply nationally at all the store's 171 petrol stations across the UK . Asda's
action follows its cut of 3p on diesel and unleaded announced last week
- which swiftly provoked similar drops from Morrisons, Sainsbury's and
Tesco. It is challenging rival retailers to stop pricing petrol locally and to adopt a national system.
