So I wrote to Cameron about fuel duty.....

[BlueSmoke]

I voiced my opinions about how the motorist never seems to get any help and the three main parties haven't really said anything clear about their intentions with regards fuel duty and the like.

Here's an excerpt from the reply one of his people sent me:

Tory aide said:

But we are consulting on a Fair Fuel Stabiliser, which would ensure that the British economy is less exposed to instability in the international oil markets. When oil prices go up tax on petrol would go down, and when oil prices go down taxes would rise. This would keep prices at the pump more consistent and help hard pressed households by cutting petrol taxes when prices are rising.



As a final point, I would like to add that we have consistently been on the side of hard-pressed motorists, and we will resist the attempts of this Government to use them as a cash cow. That is why we continue to oppose the Government’s retrospective increases in road tax and their plans for a national road pricing scheme.

What do we think to that then?

Fuel's never going to get significantly cheaper, but I like the sound of this fuel price stabiliser. At least then you can budget.

Whether it happens or not, however, is another matter.

And does their stance on retrospective tax increases mean they will reduce the increased tax applied to older cars now?

The Tories started the man made global warming stuff and the fuel duty escalator. Vote Loony.

If the price of fuel explodes (ha ha) then the "Fuel Stabiliser" will have to lower taxes to the point where they aren't getting enough money to run the country. So either it won't stabilise prices as much as we'd like or the rest of the country is fked.

I think it is in Italy the gov control the price of fuel and it is the same everywhere.

Not sure if this is a good idea or not or if it would work here.

One of them won't move our central bank to Frankfurt and force us to bail out Greece, Spain and all the other eurozone countries about to collapse.

They aren't one of the three you listed, but if you want to widen the choice the BNP won't adopt the euro either or move the central bank to Frankfurt. . . . . . .
