Nice idea but I can't see that it will make a jot of difference though - the income from high fuel prices are too important to the politicians.

I know I won't be on anyones Christmas card list for saying this. Fossil fuel prices will NEVER come down. I heard that the price of a barrel of oil is headed for the $100 tag and it will keep on rising.
Perhaps the way to go is to protest against the lethargic progress towards the search of alternative fuels prevailing?

Dollar price of oil is rising but dollar is falling at the same time so there is no reason at the moment for UK fuel prices to rise at the current rate as pound is getting stronger particularly after the interest rate rise last week. Someone is taking the wee wee again is it the oil companies?
