When VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists. Now that VAT has been increased to 17.5% again this hidden tax has not been removed -hence recent rises in your fuel costs. <o:p> </o:p> Sign the petition at the link below to have this stealth tax removed!petitions.number10.gov.uk/dutyreduction/ Please pass this on to your friends - the more the merrier. Happy low carbon motoring!

Signed but a bit of a nightmare to find amongst the 3 million other petitions that are being ignored

Unfortunately that's all those petitions are. A lousy effort to convince us that our opinions count Good point tho Geoff. Funny how this hasn't been widely reported. Still, at least this crowd of inadequate, self-serving muppets have only got a few months left

Very true Rob. It is indeed time for a different crowd of inadequate, self-serving muppets lol.
