Fuel tax petition

What Car have launched a fuel tax petition.

It can be signed here

Currently standing at 941 signatures, tell all your mates, and your relatives, and even your mum to sign it. We only have until the 30th of July to add our signatures.

Let’s show the Government what we want, and add our signatures. Please use the tags below to add links to Facebook, and social book mark us, so many people can add their views on the fuel situation.

What Car also says “At June 2007 pump prices, motorists handed the Government over £19 million every day in VAT from fuel, the equivalent of more than £7 billion a year.

Today, in June 2008, the Government’s take from VAT on fuel is up to almost £25 million a day, a phenomenal £9 billion a year.

For every penny that fuel increases, the Treasury nets almost £200,000 a day (almost £73 million a year) extra.

As well as VAT on fuel, the Government also nets almost £30 billion a year in fuel duty, which stands at 50 pence per litre.

What Car? believes a massive windfall like this should be put back into road transport and is calling on the Government to ring-fence the cash for motorists.”
