They can now drink unleaded for just 169.9 pp litre, while diesel will be available for 185.9 pence – a huge drop from the previous 187.9p and 194.9p respectively.
It means motorists flocking to The Limes Service Station in Salford, Manchester have been saved average prices of 191.2p for petrol and 199.1p for diesel.
The co-director said: Manchester Evening News: “People’s disposable income is widely affected and we know that gasoline is one of the biggest costs for people.
“It’s not a gimmick, we want to help people save some money.”
Hassan was able to cut prices at the Texaco franchise after selflessly putting his own savings back into the company.
The franchise encouraged him to give the price-cutting ploy a try and it sparked a frenzy of cars rushing to his station.
He explained how his firm is doing everything it can to keep up with the generous offer for a minimum of seven days.
But fears of fluctuating prices could mean that the Bargain Square, on Manchester Road, in Walkden, may need to adjust prices a bit.
Nevertheless, Hassan, from Bolton, has vowed to hold out as long as possible.
He added: “We have been here for seven years now and we have always tried to support our community.”
But Hassan has a challenger like a Shell garage in rural Devon now offers petrol for 164.9 per litre.
The gas station in the Trago Mills department store in Newton Abbot also sells diesel for 179.9 pence.
