It is calling on the government to scrap the 4p fuel duty increases scheduled for January and August next year and create a price stabilisation method that smooths out fluctuations in the pump price.
Campaigners also want pressure put on big oil companies to pass on cheaper oil to motorists and set up a commission to look at market competitiveness and new ways of cutting fuel taxes long term.
The group needs 100,000 signatures on the government’s epetitions site for the issue to be eligible for debate in the House of Commons.

This it is the expeditious rehabilitation of highly denuded and long neglected roads in the countrys capital, Lusaka by the government on the brink of the much-anticipated 2011 general elections.
To add to that road rehabilitation, which was commissioned by President Rupiah Banda in the Lusaka township of Mandevu, are the K3.3 million solar geysers that have been perched on rooftops of selected houses in one or two high density areas.
The MMD government, on the other hand, says the questions that have sipped through the crevices of this hasty developmenta projects, are just a tinge of political jealousy from its adversaries.
Over the last month, contractors have been busy with graders, spades, rakes, brooms, asphalt and all manner of construction equipment in a bid to upgrade some of the roads, mostly in Lusaka South at the government's behest.

There was not a single oil tanker on the Mumbai-Nashik highway last weekend as police turned on the heat following the gruesome killing of Additional Collector Yeshwant Sonawane by members of the oil mafia on Thursday.
The MiD DAY team ran a check on some of the suspected highway hideouts of clandestine diesel operators, but most of them went underground in the past three days. The tankers carrying pilfered oil also disappeared from the discharging centres that dot the national highway.
A senior police officer in Nashik told this reporter that the illegal diesel business estimated around Rs 10,000 crore annually could not take place without the connivance of several senior politicians. It is a secondary source of income for many mantris, which runs without too many risks.

The word 'Irony' doesn't due justice for the opening of the new $75M school opening in Los Angeles next week built on toxic soil and named after Al Gore and Rachael Carson.
The Carson-Gore Academy of science, to be home to just 675 students at an amortized cost of only $111,111. per student, has been undergoing over $4m worth of soil replacement involving removing 38,000 cubic yards of 'tainted' soil to a depth of 45 feet due to seepage from underground storage tanks from previous development.
The 'campus' also features a working oil well across the street, at least for now, as it is said Gore is attempting to have Obama extend the drilling moratorium to downtown Los Angles and getting him to renew is pledge to "plug that 'ho' he made earlier in the BP Gulf fiasco.
Carson, known for her book "Silent Spring' is credited with singlehandedly banning the use of DDT and thereby increasing the number of Malaria deaths exponentially, was awarded the Nobel Prize Posthumously for being responsible for controlling the population explosion in many African Countries and culling out thousands of children that otherwise would have been a burden on the economy.
