Think your occupation does not affect your auto insurance rate - think again! In Insurance.com's 2006 Occupation Report, results show that your occupation can greatly impact your car insurance premium.

When young adults graduate college they have aspirations of starting their first "real world" job, getting their own place and buying a brand new car - one that does not need a screwdriver to start. However, college students are also graduating with much more than just a college degree and a dream, they are graduating with a substantial amount of debt. In fact, many students graduate with an average of $3,262 in credit card debt - 10 percent of that group owing more than $7,000 in credit card charges.
Students forget to factor in other life costs, such as health care, 401K deductions, income taxes, car payments, auto insurance, rent, utility bills, student loans, credit card bills and food expenses into their monthly budget. "After you graduate and land your first job, you do not think about having to pay for all of these expenses," stated a graduate from Ohio University. "Unfortunately, reality sets in pretty fast and you realize you do not have the money to make ends meet - it is a hard lesson to learn!"

Nissan Motor Co.s vehicles had the biggest increase in carbon-emissions rates over 15 years among the six biggest sellers of automobiles in the U.S., according to a report by an environmental group.
The average lifetime carbon emissions for Nissans 2005 fleet rose 9.2 percent from 1990 as the company added more light trucks with poorer fuel economy, Environmental Defense, an advocacy group based in Washington, said today. Toyota Motor Corp.s average emissions rate fell 3 percent during that span.
