Some insurance companies discount premiums if you allow a feed from Onstar, and mileage driven in 6 month intervals is below average.
e.g. State Farm's Drive Safe & Save program collects mileage automatically from onstar if you allow onstar to send it to them - then State Farm adjusts insurance rates every 6 months if you qualify. However, if you suddenly start driving lots in the next period rates can go up. You have the option of terminating State Farm's Drive Safe & Save program at any point.

I'd bet they're collecting a lot more than just how many miles you drive. Geico offers a similar program but there's no way I'd let them monitor how the Camaro is driven.
