Rejected petition Reduce fuel duty and VAT on petrol and diesel - currently 52.95p per litre

The government need to do something about the obscene price of fuel - either sanction the companies or reduce the duty and VAT percentage.

More details

The cost of living is becoming obscene and people who primarily use their cars for work are unable to fund the petrol in their vehicles. Fuel is upwards of 180p per litre at the moment and that is extortionate.
