Re: Petrol prices - all gone quiet

The problem is within us as a nation, we are too happy to bend over and take the stick as far as it can be taken.
Apart from blockading oil refineries other avenues need looking at.
One could be a mass top up at selected petrol stations where by people only pay the true price of the petrol.
To simplify things lets say that the overall taxation on fuel is 20%
You fill up your tank and deduct the 20% from the final figure on the pump.
Or the alternative is we carry on digging deeper into our pockets and bending over further to accomodate every increase.
I work shifts, getting public transport at 4.30 in the morning is impossible.
So whether a litre of fuel is 50p per litre or £1.15 per litre I still only put a set amount in the tank to get to work and back and for the weekly shop.
