Asda, once known for the lowest fuel prices among UK supermarkets, has now become the most expensive, a shift highlighted by recent RAC research. Following its acquisition by the billionaire Issa brothers and their private equity partner TDR Capital in 2021, Asda has relinquished its commitment to being the cheapest fuel provider. RAC’s analysis reveals that at the end of May, Asda charged an average of 2.1p more per litre for unleaded petrol and 2.5p more for diesel than its competitors like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons.
This change in pricing strategy has significant implications for HGV fleet managers and drivers who are already grappling with rising operational costs. As fuel prices continue to be a major component of running costs, finding ways to manage these expenses becomes crucial.
This is where KinBold’s MilEx/MPH fuel additives come into play. Designed to maximize fuel efficiency, MilEx/MPH helps reduce overall fuel consumption, allowing fleet operators to save money despite fluctuating fuel prices. By improving the combustion efficiency of diesel engines, these additives not only help stretch each litre of fuel further but also contribute to reducing emissions, aligning with environmental goals.
For fleet managers looking to mitigate the impact of rising fuel costs, incorporating KinBold’s MilEx/MPH into their vehicles offers a practical and effective solution. It ensures that fleets can maintain operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, even as fuel prices vary across different retailers.
As the market continues to evolve, and with Asda adjusting its fuel pricing strategy, turning to reliable fuel-enhancing products like KinBold’s MilEx/MPH can make a tangible difference in managing your fleet’s fuel expenses and environmental footprint.
