Or maybe you're just tired of "Big Brother" peeking more and more into your life. Where you drive, how fast you drive, etc. Bad enough most every car has a chip now that records everything you do with the vehicle but then rental cars outfit GPS devices on their cars. There is a movement underway to have all cars (in the US) fitted with GPS so you can either be charged for the number of miles you drive or pay a surcharge on the number of miles you drive.

(think about the poor schmuck who bought a hybrid car to save money on gas only to be charged for the miles it's driven instead)
