DRIVERS are taxed five times too much for the services we get.

Despite practically record fuel prices, this summer, the UK Government plans to add around another four-pence per litre worth of pain at the pump.

Successive increases don’t just hurt drivers and our hard-pressed hauliers, they feed through to rising prices at the shops for everyone.

Yet the Government is already dropping hints that it has ‘helped drivers enough’ and cannot hold back.

But last year’s one pence per litre cut was outweighed by far larger rises and most of the price consumed in tax.

With families everywhere feeling the pinch, the Chancellor must use his Budget tomorrow to scrap the planned rise.

Several MPs are already speaking out and saying enough is enough. We can all lobby ours, at the House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA.
