We have contacted all your local party candidates in the General Election to get them to answer 4 quick questions and to tell us where they personally stand on motoring policies and the future cost of motoring.
With just days to go to the General Election, there continues a deafening silence in most of the anti-car/truck media, led by the BBC, as to which Political Party has the best policies for motorists, bikers, van drivers and hauliers.
It seems drivers' political concerns are seen as not worth covering in the media, unless an environment issue is involved.
In each of the 650 UK constituencies, there are between 1,200 to 3,200 voters who support FairFuelUK.
What we do know about some of the main Party plans from the headlines include:
The Conservatives have now promised to freeze Fuel Duty, due to our intense lobbying.
Labour it is rumoured, will put Fuel Duty up to 16p more per litre and divert funds for existing road projects to reduce train fares by 33%.
The Greens are rumored to want to double Fuel Duty, making petrol and diesel close to a crippling £2 per litre. They will spend £2.5bn per year on new cycleways too.
Lib Dems don't mention Fuel Duty, and want to promote cycling, walking and ban the sales of all diesel and petrol vehicles by 2030.
The Brexit Party will Scrap HS2.
There are also many other issues that impact on drivers.So please
send our email
to remind them to complete the
FairFuelUK Survey.
Your email sent directly to them will carry so much more weight to convince them to answer the 5 minutes survey.
We will publish their responses for you to access asap.
Please let us know if they respond to you refusing to take part in the survey. That in itself, is cause to notify the media of their apathy towards UK's 37m drivers.
The questions in the
FairFuelUK Survey cover:
The cost of motoring
Fuel Duty plans
Transparent pump pricing
Fairer effective non punitive ways to lower vehicle emissions
ULEZs
HS2

"it’s been one of the most successful lobbying campaigns in modern political history, successfully diverting billions from the treasury with barely a squeak."
Gaby Hinsliff - the Guardian
Since 2010 FairFuelUK has saved drivers over £100bn in planned tax hikes in duty and VAT through constructive and objective campaigning.
Had FairFuelUK not campaigned to scrap the fuel duty escalator, fuel tax today would be 83.33p/lt rather than 57.95p/lt, 43.8% higher.
Today you'd be paying £1.70 per litre.
