  • Sainsbury’s cuts the price of fuel by one pence-per-litre 20 Oct 2015 (News)
    The fall in fuel costs over the past 12 months has largely been attributed to a drop in global oil prices, which has been caused in part by a price war by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec). As a result there is a global surplus in petrol and diesel.  It's unclear if other supermarkets will follow Sainsbury’s decision to cut fuel prices, but   Avishai Moor, Sainsbury’s Head of Fuel, said: “This price drop, combined with one of our biggest ever points giveaways, provides our customers with excellent value.”

  • Fuel prices rise through September, but cuts are expected soon 3 Oct 2017 (News)
    Unleaded prices have increased as a result of Hurricane Harvey disrupting oil refining in Texas, while rising oil prices have put upward pressure on the cost of diesel. However, the strengthening of the pound against the dollar has allowed the supermarkets to bring petrol prices down as oil is traded in dollars. Despite supermarkets cutting fuel prices by 2p-per-litre last week, there is scope for a further round of price reductions as wholesale unleaded is 6p a litre cheaper than it was at the start of September. But, as the wholesale price of diesel is static, there won’t be any cuts there.

In the same time period the price of wholesale diesel has come down by more than 3.5p-per-litre." Although supermarkets often have cheaper fuel for sale due to competitive pricing amongst themselves, the average price of diesel is still around 4p-per-litre more expensive than it should be at UK retailers - like Shell and BP - because the wholesale price or diesel is now cheaper than petrol.
