FFUK have updated their followers via email with the results of the poll compiled with the Daily Telegraph on the high prices of fuel (particular at motorway service stations).
Service stations are often selling their petrol at 10p per litre higher than other service stations and the poll has shown that 26% of the 21,000 people who took part in the survey use motorway service stations to fill up less than last year due to rising prices. More worryingly, 81% of people who answered the poll said that they were cutting back on other aspects of their lives to be able to afford fuel.
According to the RAC, the cost of fuel is the number 1 concern for drivers in the UK and the UK is not alone with this concern. After the price rigging controversy within the oil market, the USA is calling out for a more in depth investigation and more transparency in fuel duty prices. The next step from FFUK is to wait for feedback from the HM Treasury on their view of whether fuel duty is a safe way to boost the economy and the results from the EU raid of oil companies and price manipulation.
