Reduce unfairly high petrol and diesel prices affecting living costs as well

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Oil price is still very low yet petrol and diesel are unreasonably high for the average citizen.Besides making travel very expensive it increase the daily living costs.
How is it that South Africa pump prices are about 75p a litre and UK 125p a litre. This on top of the unfair rise of car tax when we were
cajoled by the Government to buy low emission vehicles and which we are now being stabbed in the back for complying.
