Print  So where is the AA's predicted 18p per litre increase following Brexit

Wednesday, August 3, 2016

Do you remember before the EU Referendum, Goldman Sachs via the AA, both saying that pump prices would rocket by 18 pence per litre? A plethora of highly paid PR Execs in motoring organisations jumped on project fear’s doom wagon to say the same.  See the published article here. 


We at FairFuelUK (that’s Quentin Willson and myself) said then, and have been proven right that this would never happen.  


BUT it's clear since June 24th that someone in the fuel supply chain is undeniably exploiting, even colluding against UK drivers and not passing on the published sterling falls in wholesale costs. See the graph of pump prices ...

Print  Quentin Willson attacks Oil Companies call for Government help

Tuesday, February 24, 2015
Quentin Willson with Jodie Kidd for his Classic Car TV ShowThe FairFuelUK Campaign's 1 million supporters are incandescent with anger that today, Oil Companies are calling on the Government for tax concessions for their industry. After years and years of huge profits, high retail and commodity prices, large salaries and significant share dividends, bleating Oil Company bosses are asking the Treasury for help by using vulgar blackmail, saying 100,000 potential job losses will happen unless they get Government help. The BBC are also giving a biased view of this issue today and totally disregarding the license payer’s case for fairer prices at the pumps and how lower oil prices are good for the UK’s economy.

Print  BBC Report Local Government Association 2p fuel duty for potholes wrongly as a call for an increase

Saturday, July 5, 2014

BBC BreakfastYou may have watched BBC Breakfast on today, Saturday morning and choked on your Frosties when you heard that there are plans to raise fuel duty by two pence to help pay for pot hole repairs. This is totally wrong and FairFuelUK and I would be apoplectic at such a suggestion. We corrected their mistake directly with the producer. Subsequent reports have changed. The real story is that the Local Government Association wants the Government to take two pence from their existing fuel duty and VED revenue and put it into road maintenance. Which, broadly is a very good idea although Mr Osborne may not ...

Print  Proof that we have reached a point where consumers have had enough

Friday, April 5, 2013

Reacting to news that 20% less petrol is purchased now compared to 5 years ago FairFuelUK spokesman Quentin Willson said: 'Petrol has become so unaffordable for so many that high prices have changed our buying patterns completely. Such a huge fall in consumption is proof that we've reached a point where consumers have had enough.’

 

Howard Cox, Co-founder of FairFuelUK said:'The price of petrol (and diesel) has gone way beyond acceptable and practical economic sense. The current levels of prices at the pumps are inhibiting UK growth, business investment, employment and social interaction.It's time now to listen to all the evidence and significantly cut fuel duty ...

Reacting to news that the OFT believes the UK petrol/diesel market is ‘working well’, Quentin Willson of FairFuelUK said, ‘UK consumers will be bitterly disappointed.'
