Its prices have been hailed on social media, with Facebook posts advertising its prices receiving more than 800 comments and shared more than 900 times this week. One post reached more than 650,000 people, compared to the usual 20-30,000, and that has led to more sales on the forecourt. Earlier this week the RAC accused supermarkets of refusing to pass on lower wholesale costs, claiming their current margins stand at 15p a litre on both petrol and diesel.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: “With many people struggling to put fuel in their cars it’s very sad to see the biggest fuel retailers taking advantage of their customers by charging far higher prices than they should be. This is unfortunately a perfect example of prices falling like a feather, the opposite of them rocketing up as soon as the wholesale price rises significantly.
