Recieved this from Fair Fuel UK today. Please Help by showing your support and using the link in the text, to contact your local MP.

Please also copy and paste the text and pass on to anyone in your address books etc to ask them to show support.

Dear FairFuelUK Supporter
The Government is still on track to put up fuel duty in January 2012 and August 2012. These rises will add 33p per gallon to the already massive cost of petrol and diesel.
If you are angry and upset by the high cost of petrol and diesel please do the following two things for us as soon as you can:

1. If you havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t already done so, go to this link http://action.fairfueluk.com/debateNov15, put your postcode in and then follow the instructions to send an email to your MP urging them to attend a major debate in Parliament next Tuesday 15th November on this vital issue. If they donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know how upset and angry we are about this issue, they may not attend.

2. Please just pass this email on to everyone you know urging them to use the link above and then pass it on to all their contacts.

We need thousands of people to press their MPs on this issue. The Chamber of the House of Commons needs to be packed with MPs next Tuesday who are in no doubt about the suffering being caused by high petrol and diesel prices.

We need your help to do thisÃ¢â‚¬Â¦
Thanks again for all your support in the fight for lower petrol and diesel prices
Very kind regards

Tax increases also affect home heating oil, so not only would it negate the use of private car (not an option where I live) it will also drive thousands more into fuel poverty. How many more pensioners have die of the cold? Petition signed and passed on.

I suppose they need to recoup the cost of all those multi millions of pounds worth of missiles they used to get their hands on some cheaper oil. Oh well at least we allowed people to regress to lynchings. They were quick to support the people rising up against their government in a foreign land. They seem unaware of their throwing and glass houses display. All that along with their other treasonous acts. Fuse, match and tax increase. It's our lives and country they're spoiling. Is it a taunt doing this around the 5th of November? Signed.

Thanks for your Signatures.

Just to clarify for other readers - F.F.UK needed 100 Thousand Signatures on a Petition to get the Petition looked at in teh House of Commons, they achieved that and now on NOvember 15th it will be debated in the HoC.

The above Post is for members to encourage their MP's to attend the Debate and stand for their Constituents

Sent!..... now lets see what happens.

Duty only applies to 35 second heating oil - known as Gas Oil (red diesel).

This variant normally fires 'pressure Jet' type boilers, used mainly for office or industrial heating.

Most domestic heating uses 28 second fuel (kerosene), on which there is no duty charged at present.

A further update for those interested:

Today you will see the FairFuelUK Campaign Team interviewed on BBC, ITV, Sky, Radio 5, 4 and many local Radio Stations. This is because FairFuelUK goes to the the floor of the House of Commons for the MPs debate about lower fuel prices.
Early indications show that the Government has listened to some extent. We will know more early evening following the debate.
Many of the Newspapers have already predicted based on the FairFuelUK Campaign's efforts so far that the Govt is prepared to scrap the next fuel duty rise.
However whilst this is a welcome response, it remains just one of our core objectives, the main one of course is to see a significant cut in fuel duty in order to get the economy growing again.
SO please continue to get all your friends and colleagues to sign up and support http://www.fairfueluk.com. Battles may be won but the war for common sense goes on.
Thanks for your support
Very kind regards

just managed to fill up at 1.32ltr petrol. that will get me down to the Nano and back with not much change

MrDoodles · Posted 04 Oct 2021, 17:04 #10

Well the last two fill up's of 97 Octane in the 190 and the JCW, were both at £1.379, which I've just worked out at £6.15 a gallon! :panic:

The move to price petrol by the Litre, instead of the gallon, was one of the biggest cons ever hoisted on the UK public!

Bernard · Posted 05 Oct 2021, 18:56 #11

I can remember petrol being 2s/6d per gallon, that's 12.5p per GALLON. Although when I was first buying it the price was around 4s/10d (under 25 p) per gallon. At that time a pint of bitter was one shilling (5p) per pint, look what it is now.

Mate of mine used to have an old dodge with a massive boot, we regularly went to Santa Pod in it and a couple of us would hide in the boot when we got close to avoid paying and then share the cost of the 2 paying at the gate between the 4 of us, not sure how many gallons the tank held but it was a lot and the cost to fill it up around £20 at the time.
I agree about the con of buying fuel in litres, I am still definitely a pound shillings and pence man too

12 months on from my last post and look where we are now.

While out today i put some diesel in the FL2 at the place i have been using since 2020.

1

On the way back home i pass three other fuel garages BP and Esso.

£186.9 Esso

2

The next is the BP.
£191.9

3

The last another Esso 150 yards up the road.
192.9

4

How can two different Esso have a 6p difference in price, to me it is clear profiteering which i thought was illegal in the UK the prices are now back to when Covid was in its prime 2020-21 which was also reported on here then
