CHEAPER PETROL AND DIESEL Petition
Discussion
Apache said:
Ooops sorry, just posted the same thing a couple of minutes agoAs we all know, the majority of the price is tax. When oil prices went up, petrol/diesel prices went up very shortly afterwards. When oil prices halved, the price of fuel dropped by a few pence ..... there are too many vested interests. This country was living on borrowed money for over a decade .... and still is!

The money has to come from somewhere.
> Libya(1bn), Afghanistan(18bn), iraq (9bn) and other random wars for which i'm sure there will be many more of. (syria/ iran)
(figures likely well out.)

Its common knowledge that to reduce fuel duty the goverment has to find the money from somewhere else to make up for it... wheres that going to be coming from then?

Simply not increasing it further would do. They benefit from higher pump prices through increased VAT take anyway.Significantly lower duty = increase in either income tax and/or NI.
