MP's to debate lower fuel costs

[kikkthecat]

On the 15th November.
"The proposed increases in fuel duty in January and August will add around 33p to a litre of fuel"

Below is a pasted copy of an email I recieved this morning, the link will send an email to your MP and you can edit it to say what you want it to say. Let them know you're angry and get them in there voting.

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 haven’t already done so, go to this
link | Encourage your MP to attend the FairFuelUK debate Nov 15th, 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 don’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 this…
Thanks again for all your support in the fight for lower petrol and
diesel prices
Very kind regards
The FairFuelUK Campaign team

Wouldn't it be about 7 1/3p a litre?
Not saying that makes it ok, but 7p a litre is a lot less than 33p a litre.

They mean 33p per gallon (as it says later in the post), but I suppose 7p isn't going to get people's attention in the way 33p would.

From what I read it doesn't apply to unleaded petrol or diesel anyway, which saw a reduction (yes, I know Shock, Horror) of fuel duty in March 2011.

From Horses mouth, not Daily Wail...
