Fair Fuel UK
If you have not heard of them, click the link, with our help they pester the government to cut fuel duty, made a big difference so far, but with more signing up it could be better, Rick http://action.fairfueluk.com/page/m/...62453843/VEsH/

Duty, This is the part of fuel that really gets my goat. Fuel is cheap even at $100 a barrel.
1barrel of crude is 160Ltrs = 72ltrs of petrol, 37.8Ltrs Diesel, 15Ltrs jet fuel, 34Ltrs made up of other products like LPG, heating oil, lubricants, plastics. Oil companies are not robbing us at the pump, the Government is with the Duty & VAT. |

I've done it, but I'm alway nervous about giving my email address to third parties.
This time I think it's worth it. Alan |

Time to join FFUK
Thanks everybody, good response, now you have done the poll consider joining, then every time the government considers upping the duty FFUK will send you a mail with pre sorted stuff to lobby your local MP, so easy to do, and so far we have made a real difference, it is all about numbers and once you reach a certain number (think it is 100,000) but memory fails, whatever on the last proposed increase we beat that number and the increase did not happen, Rick
