RAC calls on firms to sign fuel petition

Date: 10/5/2012

The RAC is encouraging fleet operators to support its campaigns for lower fuel prices in the UK.

Prakesh Patel, a patrolman for the organisation, urged people to sign up to its e-petition for fairer prices at the pumps.

He said if enough signatures are gathered, it could bring about change and mean individuals have to spend less on filling up their tank.

"It affects all of us who drive, so if we could get a few more motorists on board that would be brilliant," Mr Patel stated.

He also told businesses with vehicle fleets to shop around for their fuel and compare prices to ensure they are getting the best possible deal.

Chief Executive of the Road Haulage Association Geoff Dunning recently claimed reducing fuel duty in Britain would help to pull the country out of the recession, as people would spend less on petrol or diesel and the savings would be put back into the economy.
