I have to agree with everything you say except the time thing. If some people "have to drive" during peak hours, thats probably what makes them "peak" hours.

And as far as having a gps to tell how far you've driven, the same could be done with a trip odometer that is reset every time fuel is put in the car. No need to know where I've been, just how far.
