Or maybe I'm putting too much faith in people being aware that their driving habits save them money at all.
I'm really liking this idea.

As someone who sometimes travels for business using my own car I like to maximise what I get for the money. The official payout is 40 pence per mile so if I can spend less (by maximising FE) then thats in my pocket vs someone else's.

I did this with my company Rover 220 SDi - every mile I drove for business (which was 95% of them) I earned around 10 pence.

Lovely.
