VAT on fuel - extra hidden duty

[PaulR]

When vat was reduced to 15% in January 2009 the chancellor levied an extra 2p per litre of fuel, to compensate for the loss of revenue from the vat reduction.

Now that vat has now gone back to 17.5%, guess what, the extra 2p is still there!

Don't let them get away with it.

I've already signed it (found it via another forum), and I think it's definitely time to tell the chancellor 2P off...
