Steady as she goes.

One of the more sensible suggestions to come out of the new Con-LibDem coalition government is that of the fuel price stabiliser. The idea is that if fuel prices rise, fuel tax will fall, and equally if fuel prices fall, fuel tax will rise - the effect will be to hold forecourt prices reasonably steady. Of course, what hasn't been decided (or at least publicised) yet, is what that reasonably steady price will be, but it has to be a step in the right direction.
