Don't forget your insurance company

Have you been saving gas dollars by making smarter commuting choices and generally driving less? If you have, Mother Rider has some smarty pants motherly advice for you today.

Driving less can save more than gas money and irritating hours stuck in traffic. Since your auto insurance rates are normally based on your commuting habits and total miles driven in a year, fewer miles can mean lower insurance premiums. Remember to report any changes to your insurance company first thing. Hey, why leave the extra money in their pockets when it should be in yours? At least until it's time for your next trip to the gas station again.
