Default Re: Eco-friendly car insurance leaves less green in your pocket

Whenever I get an insurance solicitation, I send back my reply asking for their "Hybrid discount." But the real reason is driving for mileage has made me a safe driver:
  • slower speeds - to keep the fuel economy high and have more time to react to traffic
  • slower routes - to avoid tail-gaters which often has less traffic
  • predictive braking - situational awareness to coast to a stop instead of braking
