"Petrol prices are set to hit £1 a litre for the first time in more than six years on Monday.
Supermarket giant Morrisons is cutting the cost of petrol and diesel by 7p a litre in a new price war at the pumps.
Customers who spend at least £40 at the supermarket checkout will pay £1 a litre or less when they fill up at the chain’s 336 forecourts.
Across the UK, a litre of unleaded cost an average £1.07.95 while diesel was £1.10.15, according to the website petrolprices.com.
Some forecourts are already charging £102.9 a litre and motoring experts believe other supermarkets will soon follow suit with their own discounts.
They follow a dramatic decline in the price of crude oil per barrel, down from a peak last year of 115 dollars to 40 dollars on Friday, a six and a half year low.

Morrisons says it is making the cuts to help motorists with the cost of getting around during the pre-Christmas shopping spree, including Black Friday."

Yes it is. This isn't a price cut, it's an offer - spend £x in store get y pence per litre off fuel.
Morrisons are being disingenuous too - suggesting this is the first time you've been able to get fuel for less than £1/litre in 6 years.
1 - Sainsburys had a similar offer earlier in the year which did exactly that
2 - Tesco FuelSave made it equally possible for several months
3 - There were a handful of stations offering Unleaded at 99.7ppl in December/January.

What should the title say then?
'Morrisons to cut petrol by 7p a litre from Monday to £1.00 - £40 min spend instore', is an accurate title in my book.
