Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Petition Reduce the fuel duty rate by 50% on all road fuels.

Our current fuel duty rate is 57.95 pence per litre on petrol, diesel, bio diesel and bioethanol. I believe a 50% relief of fuel duty would boost our economy hugely as well as helping the poorest get to work cheaper so they can earn more
