Just noticed today that Asda has dropped their fuel price again, to 120.7 and 124.7, if they can do it so could the rest

Skippy Skippy Skippy, it takes months to drop the price at the pumps but only minutes to put the prices up even though it's still in the ground.

Its all that cheap nicked Syrian oil being sold on the open market and the shale oil coming on stream

ISIS have all that don't they? They took over a big refinery a few months ago.

Big business will do business with anyone. They don't give a [edited by admin] what happens with the proceeds.

I doubt the choice will be available.
Do you imagine you will be offered fuel made from fracking out of a separate pump?

No but what if BP had it all....would you boycott BP fuels?

If BP had it all, they'd still be dearer than everyone else

OK, Shell then, or if 1 brand had a sign "fuel from fracked shale oil"

The firm in charge of it all has an office in Lichfield, there are no pickets there!

Its a loss leader to get shoppers in, plus its unblended basic fuel, bare BN spec, I only use Shell or BP if possible

Your question supposes that fracked oil would produce cheaper fuel than other oil sources. Oil markets simply don't work that way. Supply and demand dictates the price, not the source.
If it did, diesel from Saudi oil would be much cheaper than diesel from North Sea oil or from fracking.
As for a garage which advertised fracked fuel only, most people will buy either the cheapest or the best quality, depending on their means or preference. Fracked fuel would be neither cheaper or better. Certainly a sizeable minority would refuse to buy it on principal but only the most stupid would actually go out of their way to buy fracked fuel for it's own sake.

BTW There are no pickets anywhere. Dissent is no longer tolerated
