I'm going to see if I can go different (slower) routes to work. I love it when someone is going slower than me, I always get behind them, however I found most people don't like to be "followed".
I also live in TX, so I understand where you're coming from. There are so many examples of fuel-ineffeciency out here that I could dedicate a book to it. And the highways are crazy.
