“Asda’s new national price cap on fuel means that drivers across the country will pay no more than 124.7ppl on unleaded and 127.7ppl on diesel at any of their 318 filling stations – including ten in Northern Ireland.”

Asda CEO and President Roger Burnley comments; “We know that the cost of living is centre of mind for our customers and we will always do whatever we can to reduce that burden.”
