Default Fair Fuel Petition - Please Sign

Hi All
A circular I got in another e-mail to disterbute:


I think you will agree with me and others that in this country we are paying far too much for the fuel in our cars. In fact on average most people are paying around 10% of their salary just to fill their cars up every week. The Fair Fuel UK Campaign are doing all they can to get this Government to lower fuel prices. They have set up an e-petition to have a full debate in Parliament regarding the high fuel prices here in the UK.

They rapidly need 100,000 signatures to make this debate happen to try to get the Government to reduce fuel prices by cutting fuel duty. In just 12 hours they got 4,000 signatures overnight but, with your help they need more.

Please sign the e-petition straight away and will you please forward this e-mail to as many of your friends, club members or anyone else you can think of to sign the petition. If you just click on this link it will take you straight to the e-petition. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/347

Many thanks for your time and together we can hope to lower the high fuel prices we are seeing now.

Default cash cow

The goverment sees the working british public as a cash cow. They will get their milk quota from the cow either from one teet or if that dries up another. So be sure if they were to lose revenue from one source they would find it from another. Thats my reason for not caring about fuel costs ,i think its more relevant to question mp`s on what they are spending our hard earned on. And yes you can have my signature.

Ya I'd agree, I'd worry they'd find some other sort of sneaky way to make us pay. At least in some ways you can avoid the fuel tax to an extent by being carefull how much you drive and not being too lazy. They should give companies though a bigger tax break on fuel though.
