If you're stuck behind an "oblivious drone hypermiler" (
of which the existence is debatable), the system I just posted is what you should be doing. Really I could delve deeper into it - that was just an example for a non-hypermiler who doesn't want to EOC/doesn't have a manual car.
And as far as "your neck of the woods," I share the same frustrations you do. I hate getting stuck behind some idiot who's doing 15 in a 40. Only I don't call them "oblivious drone hypermilers" - I call them "old people" or "people with crappy cars that need repair" or even "cell phoneys."
But these people are NOT hypermilers.
They are not using any skill they learned. They are not looking in their rear view mirror. They are not aware of their surroundings. They are
NOT p&g'ing,
NOT eoc'ing,
NOT dwb'ing and
NOT dfco'ing and the
ONLY thing 2 things that would make me happy is either putting a bullet in their head or slamming my car into their rear bumper. ("Coincidentally" they would be uninsured)
Believe me, I can see where your coming from (if not only partially)
