Rejected petition Cap petrol and diesel prices at £1 per litre.

The cost of living is increasing, so people work harder and travel further to make ends meet. The associated costs of driving are not helped by continued high petrol and diesel prices. Before tax and fuel duty are applied, it costs under 40p a litre. These additional costs must be capped.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Government and Parliament don't decide directly on fuel prices. You could start a new petition calling for the tax on fuel to be reduced.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
