Tesco and Asda are cutting fuel prices at hundreds of filling stations across the UK.
Asda said it was capping the cost of petrol at 110.7p per litre and diesel at 112.7p at its 294 stations from Tuesday.
Tesco, Britain's biggest supermarket, said it was cutting petrol and diesel prices by up to 3p per litre at all of its 500 filling stations on Monday afternoon.

I've known this Astronaut guy for years (very trustworthy), anyway he insists that I don't use supermarket Dilithium Crystals it puts tremendous strain on the Warp Engines.

I'm also a mechanic and although I prefer not to use supermarket fuel I still do. There have been no studies to prove that long term use of one brand of fuel over another improves engine life, performance, or mpg. The problem is the brands don't tell us what additives they include and whether they are beneficial to; older or newer engines, conservative drivers, boy racers, professional drivers, regularly serviced, rarely serviced, short or long journeys etc etc. The additives could be snake oil, literally! As a mechanic it's very difficult to prove that an internal engine fault is the cause of supermarket fuel or the additives supposedly included in premium fuels.

Why single out Morrisons? What about Shell, Esso, Texaco and the like? When did they ever reduce their prices first?

Morrisons droped theirs 2 days ago, so asda and tesco are the following sheep in this case

It is a bad thing, Morrisons never ever reduce their fuel prices first, they only reluctantly follow when Asda/Sainsburys have reduced first.

So they price match like 100's of other retailers not sure why thats bad, its saving money. You post amazon deals, they price match, often reducing prices after argos or tesco do, how is that any different?

In terms of this deal which is about "Fuel", Morrisons never take the initiative to reduce their price first.
Which part of this statement don't you get? :innocent: -The clue is in the bold part if you don't twig

I've stopped using Asda for petrol, a few people I know have told me the fuel from Asda disappears quicker than other suppliers.

I drive an older car and the mechanic I use when needed (very trust worthy bloke, known him years been a mechanic all his life) has told me never to use any of the supermarket brands fuel...

Their fruit and veg is so poor though you might be able to harness enough biogas from what goes in the bin to supplement your fuel bills!
