The Official e-Petition from the British People to HM Government to lower

the duty on fuel.

 

At 50.35p a litre, the duty paid on diesel in the UK is the highest rate in

Europe, where the average level is 22.7p a litre. Did you know that around

two-thirds of the price of petrol is tax? For every �50 you spend at the

pumps, you only get �17 of petrol. And don't forget that VAT is charged on fuel

tax too - a tax on a tax. Why should an essential like fuel be taxed at

several hundred %, when heating fuel is only taxed at 5%?

Below is a link to the official government petition aiming to lower fuel tax

 

 

 

Sign  it, you all complain about high fuel prices, so do something about it

 

To 'sign' the petition via email you need an email address and a home

address,  THAT'S IT !!!!!

 

Pass this on to EVERYONE you know, even if they don't drive yet, one day

they will and they WILL complain about fuel prices.

2) See what you think and pass it on if you agree with it  

We are hitting �116.9   a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying �1.50 a litre. Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea:

This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy petrol on a certain day campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to hurt ourselves by refusing to buy petrol. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work.

Please read it and join in!

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a litre is CHEAP, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the market place not sellers. With the price of petrol going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of petrol come down is if we hit someone in the pocket by not purchasing their Petrol! And we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves. Here's the idea:  

For the rest of this year DON'T purchase ANY petrol from the two biggest oil companies (which now are one), ESSO and BP. 


If they are not selling any petrol, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact we need to reach literally millions of Esso and BP petrol buyers. It's really simple to do!!

Now, don't wimp out on me at this point... keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to a lot of people. If each of you send it    to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) ... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it... ..

THREE HUNDRED MILLION  PEOPLE!!!

Again, all You have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all.(and not buy at ESSO/BP) How long would all that take? If each of us sends this email out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.

PLEASE HOLD OUT UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE 69p a LITRE RANGE

It's easy to make this happen. Just forward this email, and buy your petrol at Shell, Asda,Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons Jet etc., i.e., boycott BP and Esso
