The UK
Government’s scrapping of the fuel duty escalator has protected UK motorists
from a hike of 13p on the litre since 2010(a saving of around £7 every
time you fill up), but we believe that fuel retailers could pass
onfurther savings to drivers and that’s why we are calling for these
changes to be made ahead of Christmas.
Fuel prices
are the greatest cost to motorists and the recent fall in the price of crude
oil should be passed on to the motorist.
We the undersigned call on fuel
retailers to:
-Pass on savings brought about by the
continued fall in world oil prices to motorists at the pump
-Note the work of the RAC which has shown
that the price of a litre of petrol could come down by as much as 7p - with
scope for the price of a litre of diesel to be cut by almost 6p (A saving of
around £4.20 each time you fill up the tank with petrol)
-Bring forward these savings by Christmas in
time to reduce costs for motorists over the festive period.
I urge fuel retailers to pass these savings from the falling price of oil onto hardworking motorists!
