Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

The cost of petrol and diesel has massively increased over the last few months of 2018. Now prices are at an average of 130p a litre.
The public need to understand why these increases are happening, what is the plan to reduce the costs for families and businesses and steady the market hikes.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about the rise in fuel prices, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition asking the Government to reduce tax, or to set up an inquiry into the current trend of price increases.
