You will have to Pressurise your Government into Reducing the Tax on Fuel as the Price is going up World Wide.To many Nations Industries Gobbling up the Oil, especially the New Emerging Giants of China and India.All this Oil is getting used up,there is not many new Oil wells being Discovered Now.Bush and any New Presidents in the States will try and advocate the Exploration Of Alaska and Artic Areas in an effort to secure an Oil Supply. The only Hope is Discovering New Alternatives to Petroleum Fuels,Like Bio Fuel, Hydrogen etc.

Not buying fuel one day does absolutely nothing. People either buy it beforehand or after. The only way that would work is if NO ONE drove anywhere that day and did not use fuel at all. Even then it would be such a small thing that no one would notice. If you could convince the world (everyone) to not drive or use public transportation or any fuel at all for a week then you might get noticed. Fuel prices would go down for a few days as the supply levels back out.

Like Samantha, I also won't be fuelling up on Saturday as I already have a tank full. Instead, I purchased my fuel, (at a cheaper price) from Tesco. This is my form of boycotting by using smaller suppliers. As for paying through the nose, I'll bear my **** on the Cathedral steps the day we're not!

Ever feel like your banging your head against a brick wall? Maybe the people of Britain have got the Government they deserve after all... *sigh*
The apathy of people on here is astounding. Maybe you should ask who's going to win the X Factor final, or how the McCann's are getting on.

It probably means that either you weren't aware of it(like myself), you're an over the road trucker, so that in spite of the fact you know you're getting the screws put to you, you still have to run or you've become so jaded by the whole process that you just don't think there is anything 250,000,000 people can do.

No, it just means you have your own mind and don't feel the need to be orchestrated into action. It'll be like the other protests, people will still fill up but just not on Saturday-in the long run prices won't go down.

I agree that fuel prices are way high, but why don't we hear anyone protesting the price of soda, milk, bread, movie theaters, movie theater candies, etc., etc. that are extremely higher.
At least fuel is a primary necessity........

No it doesn't. Fuel in the UK is extortionate but I DO NOT agree with those people/groups/organisations who go ahead with protests that prevent the general population from going about their daily business.
Fuel protesters have NO right to prevent deliveries to filling stations and thus stop normal people going about their daily business - let alone prevent emergency services doing their jobs!

I drive a Prius. I have to fill up once every couple of weeks. The odds are, I'm not going to fill up on Saturday.
It is more imporant to cut your fuel usage than it is to shift your purchases by one day.

it means that we dont have a single blinkered view on how to reduce the price of oil. The last lot of protests had very little effect.
