Asda has dropped the price of unleaded petrol by 5p per litre and diesel by 3p per litre.
The supermarket announced it has slashed its petrol and diesel prices to help motorists save money when filling up. The move will help motorists reduce the costs of running their vehicles as the cost of living crisis continues to bite.
Motorists will be paying on average 185p per litre for diesel and 174 per litre for unleaded when using one of Asda's 323 stations across the UK. The supermarket giant already cut their prices earlier in the week by 4p per litre which means fuel prices overall have dropped by 9p per litre on unleaded and 7p per litre on diesel.

AA fuel price spokesman Luke Bosdet said: "Asda’s price move is impressive, in effect cutting 10p a litre off the UK average price of petrol. That’s potentially a fiver off a tank for those filling up this weekend, compared to the artificially-high prices in too many major retailer forecourts and in too many towns.
"First, it was a few dozen small independent forecourts showing up the big boys. Now, Asda has called them out with on average a fiver off the cost of a tank of petrol. Latest UK pump price averages have petrol at 184.50p a litre."
