Fuel is taxed at around 70% I believe, freezing the duty is what most Governments should have done.
And I consider myself to be an environmentalist.

As they are raking in 16.7% of the pump price as VAT (including VAT on their duty/tax), I am sure the treasury won't lose out much by doing us this "favour".

ooooh! those nasty tories at it again! freezing taxes for ordinary people!

funny in the 13 years of labour rule fuel duty kept creeping up and up and their excuse was its helping the environment.
but in those 13 years improvements in public transport alternatives never happened.

in 9 years of tory rule they've frozen fuel duty and invested heavily in future proofing the railway network near me with mass electrification upgrades, modernised manchester victoria station (which got damaged back in the 1996 bomb), and rolled out more tram extensions too.

the tories can be nasty, but they do it for you to see.
while labour are nasty behind your back!
