Drivers are cutting down on car journeys in a bid to save money, due to ever increasing fuel costs.The RAC has released a report showing that almost half of drivers are cutting back on journeys for financial reasons. It says that those living in rural areas are finding it particularly difficult as their car is more likely to be a lifeline.
The report also asked motorists which driving activities they were most likely to give up in an attempt to save cash. Of those asked, 31% said they would give up using their car to maintain their social life if fuel costs continued to rise.
Other motoring organisations, including the AA have had similar responses from the drivers they have spoken to.
