I don't drive slower than the limit and the only way you'd notice my driving is my propensity to coast up to stop signs and lights. This truck will coast heroic distances - over a mile from 70 MPH freeway speeds and I still have to use the brakes at the light. Most people drive like Tony Stewart up to a light and jam on the brakes. Beyond that, I'm pretty stealthy about it. At the posted limit, I occassionally pass people. I don't know whether they are hypermiling or running dope.

I haven't seen another "fastback" on the road lid in the four years I've had mine. It does draw comments.
