If you think of transport as blood in the body, and it is, high transport costs is like stopping the blood flowing.
And the body dies. The left will milk transport for all its worth, the taxes now on petrol alone are 60 70 per cent of the cost.

Make costs cheaper for ordinary people. Do you realise that with practically every tax imaginable in this country there is someone wanting it reduced? At the same time there are people asking for more funding for every conceivable thing imaginable.
You will not get anywhere with that approach. The only way out is make goods and services cheaper by improvements in the way they are done, which in today's world often involves using machines to replace human labour, or not being so safe as a regulation is axed. Fuel tax is a big revenue raiser. If you get rid of it then you will have to load the same amount on the people via a different tax, like increasing VAT or income tax.

Slash fossil fuel energy costs — that's a broad brush way of lessening household and business costs.
Cap the price North Sea production companies land gas and oil for in the UK, and separate prices from World Prices. A bit late to benefit from full control of North Sea production (as Norway did), but still a feasible legislative measure...

Bin ULEZ and all road pricing schemes, which hit the poorest hardest.
(Not a chance, I know).
