Nigel Farage's promised fuel duty cut could save drivers up to £200 per tank, according to Howard Cox, founder of FairFuelUK. The proposed 20p reduction per litre would benefit families, van owners, and HGV firms, with savings ranging from £11 for a family car to £200 for large trucks.
Mr Cox, who is standing as a Reform UK candidate in Dover and Deal, said the policy would stimulate economic growth and business investment. 'Putting these common-sense tax savings into drivers' and businesses' pockets would deliver tax revenue from real economic growth,' he told Express.co.uk.
Reform UK announced the policy as part of their 'contract' to the people ahead of the July General Election. However, the Institute of Fiscal Studies has questioned the party's spending pledges, stating the sums 'do not add up'.
Fuel duty currently stands at 52.95p per litre after Chancellor Jeremy Hunt maintained the temporary 5p reduction. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts that freezing fuel duty until 2029 would cost Britain £15bn in tax revenues.
Mr Cox believes Reform UK MPs can pressure the next government to keep fuel costs down. 'The more Reform UK MPs on the green benches working closely with me and FairFuelUK's 1.7m supporters will compel Labour to see common sense,' he said.
