I'll tell you this, where I drive, residents are known as "Mass-holes" for a reason.

My point was, if my goal is to reduce total fuel burned as opposed to fuel *I* burn. I failed if others are accelerating rapidly to get back up to speed past me. (like too many do here)

I have learned that if I'm at less than 15 over the posted limit, I have to watch the mirrors NEARLY as much as my front view. (not exaggerating) even if it is only for that 1 in 100 driver.
