Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s have cut fuel prices by 2ppl for diesel and 1ppl for unleaded across their networks, following a fall in wholesale costs.

Asda has not implemented the pricing cut, saying it consistently offers drivers the lowest fuel prices nationwide with a current national price cap of 113.7ppl on unleaded and 115.7ppl on diesel.

The price cuts come as RAC Fuel Watch data for April shows the UK average price of unleaded went up 1.44p a litre to 118.85p and the average diesel price by 1.17p to 120.53p.

Prius Values gain more than 4% in 2017

Latest data from the Glass’s Editorial indicates that Toyota Prius values have risen since the start of the year.

The figures show that residual values for the model at three years/60,000 miles have increased from 46.4% at the start of January to 45.7% in February and 50.9% for the start of March.

Glass’s added that research with buyers and dealer groups indicates there is strong retail demand for the previous two generations of Prius, which has now impacted into latest model value increases – although it’s unclear whether this is a result of the diesel backlash or due to growing popularity of hybrids.
