I get the same mileage at 55 on a deserted US Route 60 as I do at 65-70 on the packed I64 east from Richmond to my home near Williamsburg. I think it is a huge mistake to be the "obvious highway cholesterol" on any road.
Personally when you try to engage in "behaviour management" of other drivers, you increase your risk factor exponentially, which is why I try to keep my actions as "stealthy" as possible.
The exception for me is tailgaters. I try to discourage them by appearing to be just incompetent, so they think it's just some half wit old man who can't drive worth a dang.
In the rare instance when I get one who is really stupid. I will either pull off the road, make a turn, or just coast until they get the idea. In one instance that was from 54 MPH down to 20 MPH before the space case decided to pass me in the left lane on an otherwise deserted 4 lane road without any intersection for over a mile.
I guess they were just following me instead of driving themselves. Speed limit was 45.

Mech
