Fuel card news: Motorists call for fuel tax cut

25 May, 10
Struggling British drivers are crying out for a reduction in fuel duty, a new survey has suggested.

A poll conducted by Populus on behalf of the AA revealed more than half of over 21,000 motorists polled want to see fuel tax cut in the near future, with women particularly eager to see levies come down.

AA president Edmund King warned rocketing diesel prices could push inflation upwards, adding: "A majority of AA members want to see a reduction in fuel costs, even though duty increases are scheduled for October and rumours abound concerning an increase in VAT."

Mr King expressed disappointment at the new coalition government's silence on the issue of a fuel duty regulator, which had been proposed in the Conservative election manifesto but appears to have been quietly shelved.

Earlier this month, incoming transport secretary Philip Hammond promised to bring an end to the previous administration's "war on motorists".
