Okay, what happens when it's dangerous to pass? What happens if there's no way to pass?
Then either pass or do not. Or deal with it and save some fuel in the process.

And the other lanes are already blocked by semis and people who have the sense to stay out of the passing lane. What then?

Oh, I guess it's okay for you, huh?
More strawman arguments. Either we are talking about a single lane with me at the limit or slightly less, or me not even using the passing lane because I rarely pass anyone. But you aren't talking about me, you are talking about your mythical hypermiler who is really just another oblivious drone who happens to be slower and more cautious than you.
