Asda Tops List as UK's Most Expensive Supermarket Fuel Retailer

New analysis reveals Asda's fuel prices surpass those of Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's, despite previous claims of competitive pricing.

  • Asda charged 2.1p more per litre for petrol and 2.5p more for diesel compared to rivals at the end of May.
  • The supermarket, acquired by the Issa brothers and TDR Capital in 2021, had previously been known for the cheapest fuel.
  • The Competition and Markets Authority reported Asda's target fuel margin tripled from 2019 to 2023.
  • Asda maintains it offers the best value at larger supermarket outlets, but higher prices persist at convenience stores.
  • RAC criticizes the slow reduction in pump prices, urging faster reflection of wholesale cost declines.
