**In short: **
The government has halved the fuel excise, reducing the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3 cents a litre for three months.
The heavy road user charge will also be reduced to zero for the same period, taking pressure off truck drivers and transport costs.
What do you mean here?
I assumed it was that it removes the sudden strain to peoples wallets but then your next sentence seems to introduce that as a seperate thing by leading with “plus” so I’m guessing there is more that I’ve been ignoring
I’m talking more about the psychology. At the moment there seems to be (amongst my workplace at least) a bit of concern about filling up before the price goes up since it seemed to be moving near daily. With it being cheaper (albeit temporarily) people should be a bit calmer about it and remove it from the forefront of mind. Calmer people are less likely to descend into anarchy.
I’m honestly glad you asked because I didn’t immediately have an expansion to that ready and had to think about what I was trying to say.
Yeah, thanks for replying to this. Reducing panic buying is probably something I wasn’t thinking of a lot and you can see it in my other comments. I’d put a lot of the downvotes down to an emotional situation but this is an important oversight
