Reduce fuel duty by 5p when average petrol/diesel prices exceed £1.60 per litre

Reduce fuel duty by 5p when average petrol/diesel prices exceed £1.60 per litre — 12 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Introduce a fuel price trigger that temporarily reduces fuel duty by 5p per litre when average UK petrol or diesel prices rise above £1.60 per litre. This would provide targeted relief to motorists and businesses during periods of exceptionally high fuel prices.

Additional details

Millions rely on their vehicles for work, caring responsibilities and everyday life, while businesses depend on affordable fuel. We want Government to introduce a mechanism to temporarily reduce fuel duty when average UK petrol or diesel prices exceed a set threshold. This would provide targeted support during exceptional price rises, with normal fuel duty returning when prices fall.
