Yes there are people who care. There is an on line petition to the so called Government to cut duty on all fuels. You can help by registering at. http://petitions.pm.govuk/reducefuelduty/ . OR....
www.fuelprotest.com PLEASE sign up and pass to as many friends as you can.
This protest worked last time so it should be worth it.
All the best.....

Yes, I do. Wake up everyone because it is not just the motorists who suffer. Everything is going up as it has to be transported. Anyone willing to lead against the taxes on us all and there must be millions ready to fall in line. Can you start a site for us? I don't have the technical knowledge to do so but I will support it any way I can. Don't anyone say it is because oil has gone up. Our £ is so strong against the $ that it is only the Government ripping us off. Don't think Cameron will be any better. He's got a lot of incumbents to support.

I dont care as i think it only costs me £11 to fill my tank from empty to full and covers me 110 miles. I think if people were that bothered you would see less n less cars about 1.4 ltre, but i still see powerful cars, and programmes like top gear or fith gear dont ever say, sorry we cant test the new 20ltre super car cuz we dont want to pay the high uel costs and ripping up tyres on the track is bad for the planet etc etc....
I think i wont bat an eye lid if they knocked it up to £4 a ltre tommorrw and i imagine that alot of other people will carry on as normal, it would only be a public out rage if the goverment knocked up the fuel to such a rate that no one could afford it except the rich.

Take a stand. Only buy from your supermarket where you get loyalty points and the lowest price around. Boycott the BP, Shell, Jet stations. If nobody buys their fuel they will have to lower prices.

Well the government doesn't, they get loads more tax and duty off it. Someone on here said we should boycott, Shell, BP, Esso and other major companies and only buy from supermarkets. And tell all your mates, the major supplies will get the message when they lose sales.

What is the point of boycotting major oil companies, they only earn 40p out of a pound of petrol sold.
The other 60p is tax duty, its the damn goverment affecting the prices not the companies.

I still hear over-revved engines. Nobody cares about the price of fuel.
