Oh, I'm not worried about the jerks' mileage. They can go light themselves on fire, for all I care. I'm just theorizing that the more cars that work in tandem to reduce the flow of traffic down to the speed limit, the more those cars will enjoy less traffic jams down the road (assuming a road with one travel lane and one passing lane).
