Closed petition Reduce Petrol tax

Closed on 20 February 2013

A litre of fuel costs 137.5p. The true cost for the fuel and paying the retailer is 52.8p. I am proposing we make the cost of fuel 80p with the retailer getting an extra 5p and the government getting the difference.

I am also proposing that the government cannot increase the fuel taxation unless there is a vote by all MPs. The cost of fuel taxation can never rise more than 2p in any given year.

We need to stop our elected representatives using petrol as a vehicle for increased taxation. Do they not realise that increasing fuel costs , increases the cost of transportation, public transport, goods, wages.

Stop this runaway taxation.
