Perhaps a more productive solution would be for you to write to the Chancellor with your suggestion of how cutting the duty on fuel would help the UK meet its (admittedly misguided) attempts to lower emissions and also to replace the missing tax revenue?

How much should they cut duty by, say 30p? That would cost the country billions, and would only take the cost of fuel down to what it was at the time of the last fuel protest, ~90p.
