AA fuel price spokesman Luke Bosdet said that this would save drivers £5 off the cost of filling up a tank of petrol.

It comes as fuel prices are rocketing, driven mainly by the  ongoing crisis in Eastern Europe.

Concerns have been raised about supplies being disrupted due to the war – which has caused wholesale prices to spike.

Asda isn’t the only company to lower its fuel prices.
