This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. Tax on fuel is not set as a percentage of the cost of buying fuel, so we're not sure how you'd like tax on fuel to be changed.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to cut all taxes on fuel to the minimum level allowed by the EU, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
