I think you are right, there would be much gnashing of teeth and plenty of blame, but no behavioral insight.
Since I have been conscious of how I use my fuel, and have changed my habits somewhat, the more I see how oblivious others are about most other aspects of driving well with others too. The prevailing driving mindset seems unconsciously selfish and narcissistic.
It's a microcosm. We have lots of growing up I think.
