For every 1p rise in tax on fuel realises £500,000pa for the Treasury. With the state of the public finances I can see the motorist being a cash-cow for a good while to come.

Petition signed anyway!

When I first filled my ZT up 12 months ago petrol was £5.05/gal - today £5.90ish, not a bad hike

.

Looking forward to the tax leveler that was discussed by our PM

Signed

As a member of the apathy party, i don,t think anything we do or say will have any effect on any politician

I do believe that it is possible to get a response from certain politicians. A couple of years ago I joined a similar pressure group and I also wrote to the PM, HM Treasury and many MP's. All replied (except for HM Treasury - a mere postcard) and used the opportunity to score points 'against the other side' whilst dealing with my complaint!. I have signed here and also believe in keeping the pressure up for 'as long as it takes' !
