This is by far one of the best reasons that I added a tail to the car. That, and the plates that state my normal gas mileage.

I have way more people willing to pass me right away due to the tail and the plates. They see the high number and either want to check it out further, or blaze past, but not much in between.

The tail really makes the purpose of the car obvious, even though it adds only a small amount at my driving speed.
