Prices for unleaded will be cut to 94.9p a litre from today at Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco. Asda plans to freeze that price for TEN days at its 172 forecourts — even if Opec forces up the price of oil. Darren Blackhurst, Asda’s boss, said: “We are giving drivers some certainty in these uncertain times. With world oil prices set to jump over the next few weeks, we are guaranteeing to freeze prices at the pumps for at least the next ten days. “It’s simply not acceptable for anyone to be paying more than £1 for a litre of petrol — no matter where they live in the UK.” A Sainsbury’s spokesman said: “We have always strived to pass all cost savings on to our customers.” UK SUPERMARKET giants last night slashed the cost of petrol — as oil sheikhs planned to choke off supplies.

Fuelwatch seems to be a PR excercise that has good intentions though little substance. Fuel affordability is the issue for all families. I don't see how focussing our attention on a program such as this makes any impact on that key fact. I couldn’t agree more.
