It’s not a race to the bottom because what Asda is doing is pricing it 175.8 when others price it 174.9

I assumed they meant a race to the bottom in terms of decimal digits only. Another petrol station could price it at 175.7, or maybe even 176.7 if the illusion of being cheaper than ASDA still works.
