I have always been one to believe in driving legally. The only area where I have been a bit flexible is the speed limit on highways. A month our so ago, as a result of the rising costs of auto insurance, I signed up for State Farm’s Drive Safe and Save program. It uses an app on our phones to track our driving habits. Previously, my drive to and from work involved driving as quickly as safely possible interspersed with periods of driving slowly in heavy traffic. With the addition of big brother, I switched to driving the speed limit the entire way. I am also a proponent of cruise control. Between going the speed limit and heavy use of cruise control, I managed to get my best gas mileage yet. And, it only added about 5 minutes to my commute each way. I consider it a fair trade.
