Protesting wont lower the price of fuel, unless you are protesting the punitive taxes associated with. If you really want the price to go down, build more refineries, and tell your local futures market a**hole to quite driving up the price just to make a buck ala the .COM bubble.

68p (at the mo) of the 112p of fuel is TAX. We know the price of a barrel of oil is the highest it's ever been, but we far more tax on our fuel than anyone else. It's the tax that's the issue. And they're on about putting more tax on again.... And as the price of oil goes up we pay more tax, as VAT is also added, and that is not a flat rate.
If it wouldn't have cost me over £30 to get there and back to the protest I'd be there.
