What the petition asks
We need the government to step in and get fuel prices lowered as prices are sky high and they have the power too step in.
This is extremely important as the prices of fuel both diesel and petrol and oil are reaching prices that people cannot afford to pay.
This is affecting everyone in some shape or form. It is getting to the point that people will not be able to afford to put fuel in there cars to go to work and the government need to step in and change this. People are struggling enough after the covid pandemic so this is not what we need. The prices are sky high and people who need cars for work are suffering.
