    “

    Fuel duty has now been frozen for the longest period in 40 years, at a total cost to the Exchequer of £46bn since 2010. Crazy situation, when this money could be invested in providing travel choices to people and tackling #AirPollution.

    I wonder how many people will drive (at a cost of about 20p/mile) to a petrol station specifically to fill up today, all in order to save about 50p on a tank.

    Lost fuel duty could cover 9.2% of UK roads with segregated cycle paths

    I would need to buy about 6 litres of petrol for my motorbike in order to top up the tank today. It would entail a 4 mile round trip, using 0.4 litres of fuel, costing about 42p. If the pump price is later hiked by 4p, I would save 24p compared with waiting until later, so refuelling in earnest would still cost me 18p in fuel.

    If any of my bikes consumed petrol at that rate I'd be looking for the leak in the tank☺
