On the flip side of fuel tax, many, not all - in my case nil,being disabled - pay less or very little Road Tax now. So us poor motorists I suppose are a tad better off.
I remember the queues the week that petrol went up to 50p -10'- a gallon!
Like it or not, I am a not we the motorist, will always be a soft target for the Government in power. Remember part of that 99.9p tax is VAT @20% When VAT was first introduced it was but a mere 8%!!
