Why blame the people who drive big cars? I drive a 3 litre ford scorpio 24 valve cosworth, and a porsche 911 Carrera 4, both of which get around 18 mpg. I dont complain about the price of petrol, I would obviously prefer it to be cheaper, but I choose to drive cars that make motoring more expensive FOR ME! MY choice of car does not affect YOUR motoring costs. If the level of tax is reduved on fuel it will have to be increased somewhere else, otherwise when you need life saving surgery, you will die. I agree that it is very hard for business to operate sucessfully with the current situation, so perhaps there should be concessions for businesses, remember that this protest is by and for businesses, farmers etc... not for the average motorist.
