Fuel prices - can we protest ?

Just been watching the truckers do their thing in protest against the obscene amount of duty which that corrupt shower of incompetents in government stick on the fuel - and good on 'em, says I.

I was just idly speculating what, if anything, we as a GA community could do by way of a protest, before the price of Avgas reaches the tipping point where schools start to fail and many others will be mothballing their aircraft because they can no longer afford to fly.

It's not an easy one : there are not that many of us to start with, and I reckon we tend to be a fairly apathetic bunch at the best of times. However, we can make a fair amount of noise, can't we ...

Highly co-ordinated, completely legal, well-targetted noisy protest, anyone ?
