During the past year the public of the UK have been hit by soaring Fuel prices, that has seen Fuel Prices at the Pump go from 80p per litre to in some place over £1.38 per litre.
In April a further 1p per litre is to be added to Fuel costs by the current government.
Cost per litre of crude oil extraction: 8p
Cost per litre of refining: 2p
Cost per litre to transport to UK: 2p
Cost per litre to transport to pumps: 5p
UK TAX @ 70%: 80-90p!
Since the VAT increase the prices in some places of the UK have hit £1.38 per litre.
Enough is Enough! Tell the UK government to Reduce Fuel tax Now and introduce a regulator to ensure it never reachs ridiculous prices again!
We the people with this petition Mandamus (mandate) command the Government to reduce fuel tax and to bring in a regulator.
January 2011 and the UK Government increased VAT to 20%.
This yet again increased Fuel prices and in some parts of the UK, the price has topped £1.38 per litre, they reckon by the summer it will top £1.50 per litre.
In April a further 1p per litre is expected to be added to Fuel costs by the current government.
Enough is Enough!
Below is an example of the wholsesale costs and what the Government is adding in Fuel duty and tax.
Cost per litre of crude oil extraction: 8p
Cost per litre of refining: 2p
Cost per litre to transport to UK: 2p
Cost per litre to transport to pumps: 5p
UK TAX @ 70%: 80-90p!
Since the VAT increase the prices in some places of the UK have hit £1.38 per litre.
Enough is Enough! We the undersigned want the Fuel Tax Reduced to bringing petrol and diesal to £1 or below per litre and then regulated to make sure it never again reaches these horrendous prices again!
