The question, though, is whether all/most Priusitachi* are driving faster than ordinary traffic, or whether you just notice the ones that are doing it. After all, if a guy in a Prius gets on the highway half a dozen cars back of you, you aren't going to notice it unless he does speed up & pass. And since you, the hypermiler, are driving at or below traffic speed, you won't be passing many. So pretty much the only ones you'll see are the fast ones, no?
*The proper Japanese plural, of course :-)
