I've only read part of the thread (some very interesting replies, I must say)...
Fortunately, since the gas spiked in 2008, I haven't really had any extreme tailgaters. I rarely have any regular tailgaters. I generally drive 40-45 in 55 zones, and once people realize it, they usually just fall in line and give space. I always go approx the speed limit when there are few chances to overtake, but so long as they have opportunities, I just take it easy. Before ~2008, people used to fly by my at 80+ if I was going anything less than 65 in a 55, but times have changed I guess. AFAIAC, it's for the better.
