#1 Yall just figured that out, huh?
If you have a newer vehicle that has satellite radio, and you don't use it, you might want to pop the radio and unplug the satellite antenna. Just a suggestion. No particular reason.

#2 ...The ultimate plan here is, I think, to drive drivers off the road.

I mean, think for a second how many people you see daily on your way to work whom, if their insurance companies were watching them, wouldn't have any.

#4 Right, my auto insurance bouncing 15% has absolutely nothing to do with new to the States, unlicensed, uninsured drivers.

Its because when visiting Wichita, driving correct will get you in a car wreck, so you drive safe which is driving like you just got here and have never been to driving school.

#5 But about that,
Don't know the site, unconfirmed report, so salt:

The 1:6:90 Rule essentially posits that the raw materials required to manufacture one battery electric vehicle could alternatively be used to produce six plug-in hybrids or a staggering 90 hybrid vehicles. Toyota argues that the overall carbon reduction achieved by these 90 hybrids over their lifetime is 37 times greater than that of a single battery electric vehicle.

And at lower price points.
