Fuel

As the fuel prices in this country continue to climb rumours are starting to fly around that another fuel protest is immenent. Speaking with my work colleagues it seems there are mixed feelings about this, with quite a few not wanting this to happen because they are too dependant on their cars.

So I put this to you, if we don't protest what do we do instead? How can we force the goverment to reduce the tax on fuel?

The duty on LPG is only frozen til next year, when it will double (at least) to bring the duty in line with other transportation fuels, this is one of the main reasons why very few people are converting. Given current gas prices, it is possible that it will end up around the same price as petrol!
