What the petition asks
Fuel prices have always been expensive, even household use of gas and electricity have soared and still climbing significantly.
Parliament can lower cost and still benefit from an healthy tax return. Fuel is got from same place as other c/tries
Time to look after your own, and stop the RIP OFF

government as reaped more than enough off the English people via taxes.
We should now be treated fair, yes people have to make a profit but paying high inflated fuel prices is now getting too much.
Fuel could be dropped by half,if more.And the government would still make vast amounts of money.
Tax is an evil,but we think it as gone to far,maybe you can afford fuel in your fancy cars,but everyday people can't even afford to run their 1.6 ford focus.
"SO WRONG"
