If your local MP is Labour
Write him/her a stern letter explaining that you'll be voting against them in 2010 if they continue to tax your fuel by 290%.

Might sound churlish, but by the sounds of things, Labour MPs are ready to suck cock to keep themselves in power in two years time, which is exactly the way all politicians should be.
