Well done Asda 2p off diesel & petrol

[Dedworth]

We’re cutting another 2p off the price of petrol and diesel – leading the way in reducing the cost of fuel for the third time in three weeks.

From tomorrow you’ll pay no more than 134.7p for a litre of unleaded and 139.7p per litre of diesel at any of our 196 Asda filling stations.

I got striped for £1.45 diesel at Sainsburys today.

What impresses me about Asda's fuel pricing policy is that they charge the same throughout the UK - not the sly local price game all the other scumbags play

£149.9 here for unleaded and going up in August, by 3p I was told this morning...

one of our workers have a electric bike, goes very quick and she charges it at work so even cheaper to run, how long will it be before we have to give up our cars

Same will happen in Phils....

... we don't own a car - which is probably the main reason we're getting by on my Occupational & State Pensions, I suppose.

You will be driving an electric powered golf buggy around the chocolate hills, a few years from now....

Well, I was a lot happier when I was cycling to work. A lot healthier for me. But my office isn't so close anymore.....

This was in March.

"Fuel prices WILL go up by 3.02p from August to 145p a litre
Petrol to rise to 145p a litre from August
Diesel will rise to 150p a litre
Fair fuel stabiliser will mean that above inflation rises in fuel duty will only return if price of oil falls below £45 a barrel
Vehicle excise duty to rise by inflation, but frozen for road hauliers
[AA warns of a summer of discontent as drivers are forced off the road
RAC says the tax rise is unfair and government should look at who it will impact the most "

Yeah, I always used to cycle - or walk - to and from work (about 21/2 miles each way) ... and was a lot fitter for it too!! But nowadays - with gradually worsening hearing problems - it isn't really an option anymore.

There again, being an OAP, it doesn't really affect me much, since I'm fortunate enough to have a bus pass.

I shop every week at Asda as we have 2 within reasonable distance of us. Unfortunately neither has a petrol garage
