CHANCELLOR Rishi Sunak is being urged to ditch plans to bump up fuel duty to combat climate change as a new eco-petrol gets the green light at British pumps.
“But now the department for transport are championing new fuel that will supposedly cut emissions without the need to update their car.“Hiking fuel duty hits lower income drivers the most, and the Treasury should not hide behind the green lobby as an excuse to swell their coffers.
"Those with no option but to continue using E5 will have to fork out quite a lot of extra money as super grade unleaded is currently 136p a litre which is over 13p more expensive than regular petrol. There’s also a danger that E5 premium grade petrol may be harder to find in some more rural locations.
