Dear FairFuelUK Supporter,

 

Oil prices have fallen, but what we pay at the pump for petrol and diesel remains far too high! FairFuelUK is pushing harder than ever to tackle this. Earlier this week, we were in Parliament forcing the petrol and diesel price issue back on the agenda. The Oil companies need to pass on reductions in the cost of Oil. If they don’t, the Government needs to take action. That said, the Government needs to do much more about fuel tax. It needs to abandon its current plan to increase fuel tax in January 2012. It needs to understand that the current high level of fuel tax is hurting motorists, businesses and the road hauliers. High fuel taxes are strangling the economic recovery.

 

The Government needs a plan to REDUCE, not increase, fuel tax.

 

We can't fight this campaign with just 160,000 people behind us .... We need hundreds of thousands more from every corner of Britain.

 

We've changed the way that our web site works to make it easier for you to help us achieve this increase in support. Please go to the site at http://www.fairfueluk.com and select 'tell a friend' or click directly to this link http://bit.ly/FFUK-tell_a_friend .

 

The "tell a friend" page will give you some options. You can type in up to 10 separate email addresses. Better still, if you are on AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Gmail etc, you can select "Load Contacts From Your Email Account" and the site will send out an invitation to all your contacts at the click of a button.

 

With your help in the run up to this years Budget we forced the Government to abandon its planned massive hike in fuel taxes planned for April of 5p per litre. We couldn’t have done that without you. We now need to keep the pressure on. Please, even if you never normally foward on messages, do go to ‘tell a friend’ and help us spread the word.

 

To keep you updated on what we are doing, please see below a personal message from Quentin Willson and some links to recent media ...

 

Kind regards,

 

The FairFuelUK team

 

'Tuesday's debate in the Commons on fuel prices had plenty of MPs attending, lots of strong cross-party support and even the Minister acknowledged that the nation was hurting. The best thing of all was watching party divisions melting away and the broad agreement that something needs to be done, urgently. Robert Halfon MP, who arranged the debate, proposed a freeze on all future duty rises, an inquiry into the transparency of pump pricing and a mechanism to control duty when oil surges in price. Nobody disagreed with his proposals and he was regularly interrupted by MPs from all over the country reporting that their constituents are suffering real hardship. FairFuelUK continues to push the fuel duty monster onto Westminster's radar. We're not going to let the issue go away, nor are we going to let the government blame everything on the oil companies either. Keep following us and get everybody you know to sign our petition. I really believe we can pull this off, but we're always going to need your help. You, your friends, family and work colleagues can really make a difference. Sign our petition now!'

It'll get nowhere im sad to say...

I'be been signed for some time now.... if every motorist in the UK signed up the government would have to do something about it!

 

The only reason the government has changed their stance on the NHS is because people complained!!!!!

It's the same reason minorities get things done!!!!

 

One thing is for sure...... if we say nothing they won't change it!!!!

People of been complaining about fuel prices for years....

Nothing will change - even if everyone signs I'm afraid. Its not just the UK either, fuel costs are now similar across Europe - when I was in Greece the other week fuel costs were actually higher than here - & earnings are much lower!

 

Nice thought but thats all that it will be

It'll get nowhere im sad to say...

 

Unfortunately I agree with Jim....We should all stand together and fight the government but ultimately it will get us nowhere :(

I will be doing my own bit over summer, my cars are getting put away and I will only be using my mountain bike :)

 

It's a shame that a complete boycott of fuel stations cant be arranged as the only way to reduce the cost of something is to eliminate demand.....this obviously brings it's own problems for people who require vehicle travel for their jobs though......

 

I reckon that's the only way it would work though......

I reckon if the everyone stepped in and caused road blockades and stopped traffic movement all over the country then maybe it will make the thieving government think about lowering costs of fuel .They cant control the country of motorists if everyone did something about it can they.In America theyre driving round with big honky v8s that return an average mpg of feck all and pay less than £3 a gallon for theres and when they increase there fuel everyone complains and it goes back down again..This country is ready for the knackers yard imo as its run by people who are criminals that have been bought up with a silver spoon in there mouth and living in big mansions..rant over...Lee:)

Check this out! The worlds cheapest fuel! lol

 

I wonder how they can do it that cheap with oil prices so high, supposedly
