The supermarket giant has for years been the first to cut fuel prices, says the RAC
The RAC reported that at the end of May, competitors Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's were charging an average of 2.1p less per litre for petrol than Asda . Diesel saw an even greater disparity, with Asda 's prices averaging 2.5p more per litre.
However, since the takeover by billionaire Issa brothers and TDR Capital in 2021, there have been changes. Despite this, Gary Lindsay, TDR Capital managing director, assured the Commons' Business and Trade Committee in January that Asda did not pursue "a particular strategy to bump the price of fuel or to make a larger profit on fuel".
Rod had something to say about Asda too, stating: "It's also interesting to see that Asda no longer holds the crown for selling the cheapest fuel despite the pledge made when it was subject to a merger a year ago."
