Dear FairFuelUK Supporter Following months of lobbying of MPs from all Parties to scrap the August 3p Fuel Duty rise (the same one we managed to get deferred from January 2012), George Osborne announced today that it would be deferred again to January 2013. A great battle to win, but be assured the long term campaign is not over. We fully recognise that there is so much more to do to win the fight for stable and considerably lower pump prices. The war goes on! However, we wish to take a moment's breather and seize this opportunity of thanking you for your incredible support that definitely has helped us to convince the Treasury that this was the right thing to do today. One of FairFuelUK's key backers the RHA said "The duty increase would have added £1,200 a year to the cost of running a truckâ€. Such an increase impacts on shop prices and inflation. We are all affected by fuel duty changes, even on those that don't drive.
