Are you thinking of ditching your 4x4 for a more economical vehicle?

With petrol prices hitting record highs, and putting further strain on finances as the cost-of-living crisis worsens, we were wondering are you thinking of ditching your gas guzzling 4x4 for a more economical vehicle?

Here at Muddy HQ we can recall a time when drivers decided to protest when petrol went over £1 a litre, but we all know that prices have just gone up year after year, sometimes week after week, but now with the average cost of petrol rising to 148.02p a litre (AA figures) last Sunday, surpassing the previous high of 147.72p from last November, and diesel reaching a whopping new high of 151.57p per litre. The rise in forecourt prices has been worsened by retailers increasing profit margins in an effort to recoup losses during the Covid lockdowns.

Experts have warned that prices would probably continue to rise with records broken almost daily, amid fears that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could have a knock-on impact on supply.

So are you pondering flinging out the 4x4, or have you come up with a way to get more mileage out of your motor? - Tell us in the comments….
