Closed DIESEL FUEL RIP-OFF

Closed on

DIESEL MOTOR FUEL IS CONSIDERABLY LESS EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE THAN REFINED PETROL.

HM GOVERNMENT URGED US TO BUY DIESEL-POWERED VEHICLES TO GET MORE MILES FOR LESS.

MANY OF US DID!

WHY THEN ARE WE NOW PUNISHED BY HAVING TO PAY A SURCHARGE FOR DIESEL WHICH AFFECTS HEAVY TRANSPORT, PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND PRIVATE MOTORISTS?

THIS PETITION IS TO URGE HM GOVERNMENT TO REVIEW THIS CURIOUS SITUATION AND RESTORE DIESEL PRICES TO THEIR PROPER PRICE STRUCTURE WHICH RECOGNISES THE DISPARITY IN FUEL PRODUCTION COSTS.
