Ok a large portion will be signing the petition on the deciding factor it will reduced their running costs for their two 4X4's and sports car but what about those who operate haulage businesses, personal services ie taxis, buses, trains etc. If they are struggling to continue to operate due to rising fuel costs that cost is passed on to the tax payer in cost rises of final produce/service. So signing the petition will be of benefit to you whether you use a taxi, bus, train or buy food drink from supermarkets (one or which will apply to you) .

Tho as Snowy rightly says the bill will be footed elsewhere. Or prehaps it could be saved from elsewhere ie benefits/compensation/getting rid or jobs worths in government/local governemnt

Who knows
