Seems to me a fair trade off. Maybe u drive a Geo Metra, which changes these numbers, but who wants to drive twice across the country in a Geo?

Plus, who get frequent driver points?
I mean I will see California because I live there, and I'll be stuck close to home with no cheap flights. Plus, I (occasionally) drive a Jetta.
