The last cut in fuel duty came in 2011 and, says the group, has helped to underpin economic growth.
Another cut would be a move in the right direction to bring UK duty closer the European average – in contrast, it says, an increase of 2p per litre would slash consumer spending by £8 billion.
Howard Cox, campaign founder, is warning the chancellor not to use motorists as “wallets on wheels”.
He adds: “Any opportunistic increase in fuel duty will set the economy back significantly and impact on the hard working British public the most. Our evidence against a duty hike is incontrovertible. It’s time for the UK to fall in-line with the average level of fuel taxation across the EU.”
FairFuel UK’s pre-budget statement also urges the government to give businesses and motorists “the certainty of what this levy will be in the lifetime of this parliament”.
