This may not do anything to change a goverments mind but doing nothing wont either

Dear
FairFuelUK Supporter

A
huge "thank you" to the 13,000 who have so far completed
the FairFuelUK Pre-Budget POLL in the last 18
Hours.

It
would be fabulous if you could get your friends, family and colleagues to also
take part in this survey on the impact of petrol and diesel prices in our
personal and business lives? Please pass this email onto them with the POLL
links shown below. The results from this survey will be presented to the
Treasury and published in the National Media. The more who complete this POLL
the more weight it will carry with the decision makers in
Westminster.

For
those supporters who have not done so yet, please do add your thoughts by using
this POLL as to what you believe is the right level of Fuel Duty
Cut that would make you spend more or invest in your business. There
are two Polls (Public and Business) that will help you convey
your opinion. Here are the links:

PUBLIC Poll:

BUSINESS / ORGANISATION Poll:

Thank you as ever for your help in
the fight for lower petrol and diesel prices

Very
kind regards

The

What amazes me is when the oil companies get slated for fuel price rises at the pump by politicians and yet they never make as much money per litre for actually manufacturing and shipping the stuff as the Government makes in tax!

 

I don't think the Government will be prepared to give up so much tax revenue when we are in debt internationally in order to drastically alter fuel taxation, but good luck to the petition. However such petitions always have more effect just before a General Election when politicians are hoping to get re-elected, rather than mid term when people will have forgotten the price rises by the election.

 

Not bad a 64% rake-of per litre from the pump price where the Government does not do a thing to produce the product itself.

Still the electric car may force them eventually to get rid on fuel tax altogether:-
