Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about what to charge for services provided by service stations are a matter for individual service stations, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.
