Another U turn on the way?

Are we heading for another U turn by the government.

Inteviewed in the London Standard,the Chancellor tells us

I think the bigger question for motorists, frankly, is the fuel duty,That's something you pay every week, not once a year, and that is something that we in government are very focused upon."

Hints? Well possible but it begs the question what is going to replace it.Perhaps the additional monies from oil revenues which hits another high this morning.

According to the paper

Mr Darling's words will be seen as a clear sign he will help motorists and hauliers paying sky-high prices at the pumps. But - despite reports of a reprieve today - he seems determined to face down rebel Labour MPs demanding a U-turn on the plans to clobber gas-guzzling cars with annual vehicle excise duty of up to £455.
