But what about the likes of me. I run a small (much smaller than I'd like), fuel efficient car and I practise economy driving to the best of my ability. If the UK government was to double or triple the tax on petrol it would cripple me entirely. I could not afford to run a car. As a pensioner, I have a fixed income and though not "poor", I have no cash left over for other than essentials.
