Supermarkets lose their ‘appetite’ to cut fuel prices as retailers report surge in verbal abuse | Daily Mail Online

  1. Many supermarkets used cheap fuel as something like a loss-leader to draw people into their stores (where they could make bigger margins on other goods).

    But if that drawing-in effect isn’t working any more, they have much less incentive to try and compete on price.

  2. Asda being bought by EuroGarages petrol station owners gives them a bloody big disincentive to cut prices too. Fuck knows why that was allowed!
