lol, yea i was actually curious how they found out, usually when people sign up, they put the lowest mileage per year. And nobody calls the company up and tell them i will be driving more miles per year when renewing.

the only other way they could have found out is if he has that tracker thingy(progressive?) that tracks driving habits, it would track mileage too.

Allstate asked how many miles I drive to work one way. I said something like 8 miles. I put 40,000 miles on the Yaris that year.

Your right on the progressive part, thats who I have and I actually did do there myRate program, and was saving money cause I was only driving to work before. But then I got a girlfriend and she lived a bit away so i obviously drove more and at "unsafe" hours. So i decided to get off that program, cause it actually starting increasing my premium. Anyway i seriously doubt I'll win 2007, and have 71100, so 23700 a year.

Many state inspections now enter the mileage as part of the emissions testing. Here in TX they do. That might be accessible to insurance companies, what with Freedom of Information Act and all.
