This pamphlet put out by the Automobile Association in 1935 protests against the ‘George & Gordon Garage’ – the coalition government of George Forbes (prime minister) and Gordon Coates (minister of public works and minister of transport). It makes the point that 75% of petrol tax goes into general funds and that tax is three times the landed cost of petrol.
