Danger

Sorry to be a pessimist but, I think that if Government did cut duty on fuel, the loss sustained by the Government would be too big and would only be balanced elsewhere by quietly increasing other taxes.

Although I 100% agree with the fundamentals behind a protest and such like, I definately feel it wouldn't make the 'average persons' financial situation any easier.

There is only one solution if you want cheap fuel and that is to find your own oil well, extract it and refine it yourself... whilst keeping uber quiet about it. Chance of that are pretty much nil so it's a lose - lose situation to me which sucks big time.
