i think its pointless myself. Oil prices will rise constantly from now on, and fuel will follow. Reducing duty to a 'reasonable' amount will simply delay the inevitable. The high price of fuel also helps stimulate research into alternatives to oil, which can only be a good thing!

That would be great if my car would run on an alternative to oil..........but right now I cant afford to drive it , it may be delaying the inevitable but since most of the cost of fuel is tax ( which seems to go up exponentially as oil rises ) I think a bit of protest is a good thing
