This is a quote from the article: "

In Minnesota, where the highway speed limit is 70 mph, drivers who go over 75 less than 0.1% of the time get an extra 5% discount."

From what I've seen on the list about diesel Vanagons --- you're a shoo-in for the discount ---- though the tracking device only plugs in to vehicles made in '96 and up.............

Cheers, Doug

USATODAY.com - Drivers let Big Brother in to get a break http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2004-08-08-insure_x.htm

Progressive will announce its TripSense trial in Minnesota on Aug. 24. Customers who sign up will get a device the size of a Tic Tac box to plug into their cars. The device will track speed and how many miles are driven at what times of day. Every few months, customers would unplug the device from the car, plug it into a computer, upload the data and send it to Progressive. Depending on results, discounts will range from 5% to 25%.
