A recent poll, based on 1,750 responses, by moneysupermarket.com found that nearly half, 48.2%, say that their next car will be a more fuel-efficient car. 11.4% said that their next car they plan to buy will be cheaper to insurance than their current car.
Pete Harrison, of moneysupermarket.com, said “With escalating fuel prices hitting motorists hard in the pocket, I’m not surprised most are looking for ways to drive down the cost of getting behind the wheel – especially when the cost of insurance cover is on the rise too.”
Car insurance prices had increased by 31% in 2010 – or by 44p a day.
Have you had to make any changes due to rising costs?
