Rejected petition Fuel prices need to reduce as oil companies are making $500 billion a year.

The government needs to intervene to get fuel prices at the pump reduced. The average British person is already financially struggling and this blatant greed is just not acceptable.

More details

I am asking that it is debated that a cap is put on the amount that oil companies and petrol stations can charge the consumer. The average consumer is already overburdened with extortionate prices for food shopping, utility bills, and other expenses. Oil companies are using the Middle East crisis to further line their pockets.
