Telegraph Campaign : Fair deal for Drivers

Telegraph campaign: Fair deal for car drivers

The Telegraph has launched a campaign called Fair deal for car drivers. This follows a 50 per cent increase in the amount of car-related tax since Labour came to power, taking the total to an average of £1800 a year in fuel duty, car tax, VAT on petrol and other levies.
UK drivers pay the highest fuel taxes in EuropeThe Telegraph is calling on Gordon Brown to scrap this autumn’s planned two pence rise in fuel duty and to abandon plans to increase vehicle excise duty next year for owners of cars registered before 2006. We also call on the Government to consider other measures to help drivers during this period of high fuel prices.
The petition is supported by many motoring organisations including the AA, RAC and Free UK fuel prices. 9,689 petrol stations covered - PetrolPrices.com, along with the Conservatives and dozens of Labour MPs.
