Drivers continue to fill up, despite price
Motorists are unlikely to alter their driving habits, despite rocketing fuel prices in the UK, according to new research.
The vast majority of motorists polled – 79 per cent – have not changed their attitude to buying petrol even though there has been a threat of prices rising.
Indeed, 55 per cent said they would never part with their cars in favour of public transport, regardless of cost.
The study conducted by esure determined that fuel prices would have to almost double to an £1.83 a litre to stop drivers from filling up and driving on.
