The CMA has identified that supermarkets raise prices quickly and reduce prices slowly and is planning to investigate further - co-incidentaly (or not) Asda have reduced prices by 4.5 p/litre in the last couple of days.

But as reported on this thread and in the media it’s very unusual for supermarkets own brand fuel to be priced higher than independents, which is the case in some areas.

That's possibly what triggered the CMA investigation - of course now that Asda is owned by the Issa brothers who also own EG Group, which operates many filling stations and service areas, the differentiation between supermarkets and "independents" has all but gone.

Not so much here as the EG own the three Esso independents, but I don’t expect stability to return any time soon until their is a resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.

The Ukraine issue is causing the higher prices - but not the price instability, that seems to be caused by lack of competition, caused in turn by EG Group/Asda's non-competitive pricing - it's good to see them competing again.

My wife has filled up at Sainsbury’s Chippenham which is now 10 pence per litre more expensive than Sainsbury at nearby Melksham. I wonder if the reason could be location. Chippenham is on a major junction A4/A350 fir through traffic whereas Melksham Sainsbury is a similar size but located in the town out of the way. Either way they are having a larf.
Still cheaper where you are then where i live

Many places have dropped below that price now that Asda is competing on price again - after the CMA's announcement it would examine supermarket fuel pricing.

I am just looking at a list of Sainsbury filling stations around the country. I could understand a slight regional variation, but a 53 pence difference sounds more like opportunistic profiteering. I paid on the London/Surrey border this afternoon £1.859 per litre, yet other branches can sell it at £133.

.....regional variation maybe but garages 5 miles apart as seen yesterday in Oxfordshire!!
One has diesel at 181.9/litre the other 159.9/litre.
That's 22p/ litre difference or £11 on a 50 litre fill.
Both were full of paying customers!

I just thought that if anyone was travelling up or down the M1 this cheap fuel station is a 15 minute detour

Varies wildly here but we can knock about 4p off your figures at some places. It helps to have at least seven retailers within two miles of the house and several more within three miles.
