The organisation is calling on Chancellor John Healey to introduce an immediate Fuel Duty reduction, arguing it would help stimulate economic growth, slow inflation and reduce costs for businesses that rely on road transport. “This fiscally short-sighted Government, under Andy Burnham, and following Keir Starmer’s tenure, continues to show a deliberate reluctance to support drivers or ease business transport costs by cutting Fuel Duty.” It estimates that around 70% of those additional fuel costs have fallen on diesel users, particularly businesses that rely on commercial vehicles. Greece has introduced diesel discounts worth up to 15 euro cents per litre during August. FairFuelUK believes these examples demonstrate that governments can intervene to reduce fuel costs when market conditions demand it and is urging the UK to adopt a similar approach.
