Two thirds of motorists admit they have been forced to change their driving habits because of record fuel prices, Moneysupermarket revealed.

A further 62 percent said they had reduced the amount of time they spent driving to cut costs while five percent claim to have stopped driving completely as it was an expense they could not afford.

"Now really is the time to take action across the board with your finances to make the most of your money so you don't have to resort to changing your lifestyle dramatically,” said Kevin Mountford, Moneysupermarket's head of banking.

"It is easy to make the mistake of sitting on average products which do not give a good rate of return or cost far more than they need to.”

Only a fifth are sticking to their usual driving habits, just about keeping afloat as a result, and 16 percent admit they have not changed them at all.
