The logic is that Hybrid drivers are "safer" drivers based on the fact that A) the average Hybrid owner is typically older, and B) the Hybrid owner is more likely to be concerned with fuel economy and drives more conservatively (read: slowly).
Ditto your thoughts.

I don't think I got a Hybrid discount, but the rover was a mid 20's points vehicle, and the Hybrid is a mid teens points vehicle. That saved us a bunch of money in itself. Both were driven at the same speeds, but for different reasons. The rover hurt to drive it fast, the TCH hurts the FE to drive fast. I guess it was for the same reason, to keep the hurt down.
