Make petrol prices a statutory £1
Rejected

What the petition asks
To make the economy work, lower prices so transport is cheaper to use.
When it was at £1 this year I could go further and use transport more but now increasing prices makes me not wanting to. It's part of living transport so stop making it so expensive
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The Government and Parliament don't decide directly on fuel prices. You could start a new petition calling for the tax on fuel to be reduced.
