Suppose its better than nothing... but 1 - 2p per litre isn't exactly worth getting excited about.

It time the cost of fuel was cut the same rates as France or Spain straight away

..and it was 1-2p of a proposed taxation increase that people were moaning about last week...

So, now that amount isn't worth getting excited about is it?

I don't recall moaning about it

The point im trying to make..if petrol was reduced by 1 -2p as often as it was increased maybe it would be worth getting excited about. Just cut it by 30p per litre and be done with it!!
