For what it's worth, I'll probably go along with this. It does seem a bit like shooting the messenger, as the people who will see their cashflow affected will be the fuel stations, but maybe the point will be made.

Someone on the news last night worked out that some families on lower incomes in rural areas now pay more in tax on their fuel bills than they do in income tax.
