Original Note:
A freeze in fuel duty (currently around 53p per litre before VAT) is not a tax cut, it's simply not increasing a tax. Whilst previous governments have implemented a "fuel duty escalator" to discourage fuel use, that was simply a choice to regularly increase tax. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_Price_Escalator https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-shopping/fuel-duty
