Fuel, insurance, servicing and maintenance have all risen significantly. Many workers who drive for work are now left out of pocket as the rate has not kept pace with inflation.","additional_details":"The mileage rate is meant to cover all vehicle costs, not just fuel, but it is now too low. I drive for work four times per week and the allowance no longer covers fuel, maintenance or wear and tear. Many workers are effectively subsidising their jobs. A review is needed to reflect real costs and reduce financial pressure.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-04-08T17:46:27.829Z","updated_at":"2026-04-27T11:20:29.833Z","rejected_at":"2026-04-27T11:20:23.236Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-08T21:18:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nUpdate business mileage allowance from 45p per mile (not changed since 2011).\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/747733"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
