Invite your friends to join, and let’s unite so this government and everyone else is aware of the harm they are doing to us every day! “, can be read in the description of the group.

In the case of diesel fuel, the percentage decreases slightly, but remains above 50%. The tax on petroleum products is 26.4% of the total cost, road services 8.6%, CO2 emissions 4.5% and VAT 18.6%.
