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%?
Below is a link to the official government petition aiming to lower fuel tax

Sign it, we all complain about high fuel prices, so do something about it
