For the third weekend on the trot - and the fifth time since the end of October - Asda has promised to cut fuel costs at its forecourts.
The supermarket has announced it will trim the price of petrol and diesel by 2p a litre from Saturday 1 December, following continued decreases in wholesale fuel costs.
It means that drivers across the country will pay no more than 116.7p per litre on unleaded and 127.7p on diesel, at one of the supermarket's 319 filling stations.
The announced sparked Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco to match the reduction in fuel prices by 2p a litre.
More fuel price cuts: Asda has announced it will trim the price of petrol and diesel by 2p a litre from Saturday 1 December in the third pump reduction in three weeks
Asda has been spearheading fuel cuts in the last month, triggering a battle between the supermarkets to reduce petrol and diesel prices to attract more customers.
In fact, Asda has announced five fuel price drops since October 26, which collectively have knocked petrol down by 11p per litre and diesel by 7p.
Confirming the latest reduction, Asda's senior fuel buyer, Dave Tyrer, said: 'With Christmas just around the corner, we're pleased we can do our bit to make our customers' hard-earned cash go a little further.
'Our new national price cap of 116.7p per litre on unleaded and 127.7p per litre on diesel will be welcomed by the millions of drivers across the country and put money back in their pockets.'
Asda has cut fuel prices 5 times since October 26, collectively trimming 11p per litre off petrol and 7p off diesel
Previous pump price cuts by Asda in the last month have encouraged the other big four supermarkets to make similar reductions at their forecourts.
Sainsbury's has already matched the December 1 reductions, trimming 2p off a litre of unleaded and diesel across all of its 314 forecourts.
David Pegg, fuel buying manager for Sainsbury's, said: 'As we head into December and the run up to Christmas we are committed to helping our customers live well for less, whether they're stocking up on groceries and gifts or refuelling their cars.
'That's why we're dropping the price of both unleaded petrol and diesel by 2p per litre across every single one of our forecourts from tomorrow [Saturday 1 December].'
Tesco has also confirmed it will cut pump prices across its 507 filling stations.
Morrisons has yet to confirm if it will emulate rivals, though it already announced earlier this week that motorists who spend £50 or more in its stores between now and December 9 will be rewarded with an extra 10p off fuel.

RAC fuel spokesperson Simon Williams welcomed the news that fuel prices were being reduced for the third weekend in a row and praised Asda for being at the forefront of lowering running costs for car owners.
However, he questioned if supermarkets were really embroiled in a 'fuel price war', as live data shows that retailers have plenty of room to pass on more significant savings to drivers.
'This is yet more good news for motorists but despite Asda cutting their prices regularly the other supermarkets are sadly lagging way behind,' he said.
'There is often talk of a supermarket price war over fuel, but this couldn't be further from the truth at the moment.
'The current UK average price of petrol is 125.43p and 134.41p for diesel. RAC Fuel Watch data shows that this should be at least 8p lower for unleaded and 6p lower for diesel.
'If retailers do the right thing then it could really soon be Christmas at the pumps.
'Asda's nearest competitor is currently charging 2.5p more for a litre of unleaded whereas the most expensive of the big four supermarket retailers is charging over 4p more per litre.
'Consequently, the UK average price of petrol is not falling at the rate it should be due to the dip in the value of oil.
'The sad reality for drivers is that the majority of fuel retailers are taking advantage of the falling wholesale price by pocketing the savings instead of passing them on at the pumps.'
AA president Edmund King added: 'With oil down $20 or more per barrel, which is equivalent to at least 10p a litre by the industry's rule of thumb and confirmed at wholesale level, Asda has once again led the pack.
'The question then is how quickly and how far other fuel retailers will follow.
'We need to see the true price of fuel reflected at the pumps as soon as possible.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
