If like me you drive to music events / festivals, you will be lamenting the current cost of petrol. I don't know if this is appropriate for mudcat but fuel prices probably affects us all. So please read and follow the link and then sign the petition if you feel it's appropriate.

Below is a link to the official government petition aiming to lower fuel tax. The petition runs out today, so if you want to sign, do it now.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Lowerduty30/

Sign it, you all complain about high fuel prices, so do something about it, you need an email address and a home address, THAT'S IT !!!!!

At 50.35p a litre, the duty paid on diesel in the UK is the highest rate in Europe , where the average level is 22.7p a litre. Did you know that around two-thirds of the price of petrol is tax? For every ?50 you spend at the pumps, you only get ?17 of petrol. And don't forget that VAT is charged fuel tax too - a tax on a tax. Why should an essential like fuel be taxed at several hundred %, when heating fuel is only taxed at 5%?

Pleaase pass this on to EVERYONE you know.
