The Tories' VAT increase has added nearly three pence to the price of a litre of petrol and the fuel duty rise in April is set to make things worse. Kevin said: "Motorists that I speak to in Angus North and the Mearns feel like they are getting a raw deal every time they go to the pumps because the cost of running a car had become ridiculously expensive.
"The Tories' VAT increase has added nearly three pence to the price of a litre of petrol and the fuel duty rise in April is set to make things worse."
Kevin stated:
"I want to see a fairer deal for drivers because the rise in the cost of fuel is causing real hardship for people who are already feeling the pinch in these difficult financial times.
"The Tories have actually made the situation worse by increasing VAT to 20 per cent, adding nearly three pence to the price of a litre of petrol. I want to see the Chancellor George Osborne reverse this tax rise.
"The Government should also look again at the annual fuel duty rise, which is due in May. The Treasury is getting £800m extra from the banks and they should use this to help motorists."
