"Chancellor George Osborne has scrapped August's planned 3p rise in fuel duty and frozen the tax for the rest of the year.
The £500 million boost to motorists can be paid as a result of departmental savings across Whitehall, said the Treasury.
Announcing the measure to cheers from Tory benches in the Commons, Mr Osborne said fuel duty would now be 10p a litre lower than under the plans inherited from Labour.
"We are on the side of working families and businesses and this will fuel our recovery at this very difficult economic time for the world," he said."

Good news for once, but would really like to have at least 50p taken off the fuel duty.

Reducing it may have done, but keeping it as it is will have absolutely no affect on anything.
