Morrisons has cut the price of its petrol and diesel between now and May 1 - but the deal won't be available for everybody.
The supermarket announced it has cut its fuel prices by 5p per litre to help drivers save money when filling up.
The move will help motorists reduce the costs of running their vehicles as the cost of living crisis continues to put financial strain on Britons.
To be eligible for the reduced prices, customers have to spend £35 or more in store or online.

Shoppers who meet the threshold will then be given a coupon for 5p off each litre of fuel.
The voucher is redeemable at all Morrisons petrol stations until Monday, May 1.
Morrisons said its latest fuel offer is "one of several recent moves being made to help its customers’ money go further".
Last month, the retailer announced a further 490 price cuts and extended its commitment to customers that it will have over 1,000 prices locked low for at least eight weeks.
The required £35 spend excludes several items, including fuel, tobacco, Lottery products, Morrisons Café, gift vouchers, infant formula, cash back and dry cleaning.
"We know that fuel remains a significant cost for many households and so this offer aims to help budgets go a little further," Rachel Eyre, chief customer and marketing officer at Morrisons told The Mirror.
“It is the third time we have run it this year and alongside our in store price cuts demonstrates our commitment to helping our customers with their household bills.”
According to the latest RAC figures, the average price of unleaded petrol is 146.69p per litre, and 161.69p per litre for diesel.

The RAC previously warned that diesel is still "seriously overpriced", adding that its wholesale price was "very similar" to petrol in March.
"In fact, diesel became cheaper than petrol on the wholesale market on March 23," said the RAC.
RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said: "While retailers are free to charge what they like for fuel we feel there should be an obligation on the those which sell the most, and therefore buy most frequently, to closely reflect what’s happening on the wholesale market.
"If this had been the case then the forecourt price of diesel would have been down to around 152p a litre, even with an above-average margin."
