It's going to be a pain in the a*se if it keeps going, but I'm glad someones finally decided to do something about it...

Hope it works - bet it won't

its a pain in the **** but at least someone is finally doing something. Even in the slightest hint of reality it does work and prices come down i cant see it lasting more than a month before they're be back up again

IMO won't do anything, Mr shop man who runs the petrol station making £1.05 out of a £60 tank of fuel, Mr Texan is making around £15 and the rest is blinking Tax.

Better off syphoning the fuel out of government vehicles until they reduce the tax.

I hope it does work. Or at least to some degree. Fuel prices right now are stupid. People in the government should take a pay cut, but they won't.
