Rejected petition Introduce student discount for fuel
As a college student who drives to college, I fill up my car with petrol around every 7-10 days. I am roughly putting in around £25-£30 every time. I am going to University in September and if I choose to commute (which may be the cheapest option), I will be driving 38.6 miles a day.

As a student who is doing a full time course which is very time consuming, finding a way to earn money is crucial to survive. I am aware there is student discount for using public transport, for shops, restaurants etc. but what about reducing the price of fuel? I am a strong believer that this could benefit a lot of students. Petrol is so expensive. Driving my own vehicle will give me the flexibility to work after lectures.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This petition seems to be calling on companies which sell fuel to offer discounts.
If you'd like the Government or Parliament to act, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask the Government to give students a grant or subsidy for fuel and/or other transport costs.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
