Stereotypes don't need to be limited to state plates. Patrons of fast food restaurants are often in a hurry (bad for their MPG and mine), will brake late and turn in without signaling, and drive off like they have a sandwich in one hand.

Folks with student parking passes won't give you any trouble once they fly past you at PSL+20. Hmm, I used to drive like that.

Pickup trucks are more likely than any other vehicle class to drive exactly the speed limit. That's sometimes bad for your mileage, and sometimes good.

Even in upstate NY, you'll find a small percentage of the population makes themselves known by flying up on you and riding your bumper if you're going only 5mph over the speed limit. This probably has the effect of making all the drivers in the state faster and more aggressive.
