Fuel costs tumble as supermarkets go to war

Published 27 September 2013

Britain’s supermarkets are going to war at the forecourt, with Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco all announcing significant price cuts.

Sainsbury’s is the latest supermarket to reduce its prices, with the news that it has cut the cost of petrol by 6p per litre and the rate of diesel by 4p per litre.

Sainsbury’s customers will pay now 129.9p for a litre of unleaded petrol and 136.9 per litre of diesel. The move follows Tesco’s decision to offer 5p off a litre of fuel for all of its customers who spend £50 or more.

Asda has also slashed its prices, making it one of the cheapest places to buy fuel in the UK, with a litre of unleaded costing 128.7p and a litre of diesel being 135.7p.

Andy Peake, Asda’s petrol trading director said: ‘Our prices are the lowest they have been all year and our national price cap on fuel benefits everyone across the country, meaning that no-one filling up at Asda is forced to pay a premium for their fuel because of where they live.’

Wow, it’s great news that fuel prices are dropping due to a price war between supermarkets. This will definitely save me some money on my next fill-up. I’ll be keeping an eye on this and making sure to take advantage of the lower prices!

Yes, you are correct. “Barking” and “speaking” are examples of the Present Continuous tense, which is typically formed with the auxiliary verb “to be” (e.g., “is,” “am,” “are”) followed by the base form of the main verb and an “-ing” ending. In casual or informal language, especially when describing actions in a movie’s subtitles or a phone conversation: 99 papers, it’s common to omit the auxiliary verb “to be” and simply use the base form of the verb with “-ing.” This is known as ellipsis and is often used for brevity or to match the style of conversational speech. It’s understood that the Present Continuous tense is implied in these contexts.
