Our battle to see off the August 3p per litre (16p a gallon) rise in petrol/diesel tax that was just waved through in the Budget has started! We received great coverage in The Sun (read by 7.5m) about our damming initial survey findings – you can see it here...
Over the coming weeks we’ll be asking you to help by contacting your own MP. But right now, we are asking you for some very simple help. The FairFuelUK community now numbers over 251,000 concerned citizens and business owners across the country – but to make an even bigger impact in the minds of our MPs we need even more people behind us. We can’t afford to use press and TV advertising to reach new people, so that’s why we are asking for your help.

If you are at home now, why not ask other family members to sign up?
If you are at work, how about your office or factory colleagues?
If you are a member of a local organisation or club, how about asking the other members?
If you run a business, could you ask your staff to sign up?
If each supporter spreads the word to just a few others, the overall effect can be amazing.
Why not ask them by word of mouth or perhaps forward this email?

We know that sometimes people feel a little awkward about passing on requests such as this. However, we know from experience that anyone who cares about the cost of petrol & diesel almost always welcomes finding out about FairFuelUK. If we can drive our community up towards 500,000 supporters in advance of all the campaigning and lobbying we are doing in the next few weeks in Parliament we will have an even greater chance of seeing off that 16p a gallon tax hike.
As ever, thanks so much for your support………
Kind regards,
Quentin Willson, Peter Carroll, Lynne Beaumont and Howard Cox

) but then we got oil-wells there was no corresponding drop in our fuel prices. Have been saying for a few years now that politicans are at best con-men and at worst gangsters. 
Ach I suppose we have to have them.
