At 30 MPH, I get 60 MPG--coasting!

It says 30-45 MPH, so it sounds like he was not maintaining a constant speed. If he was doing pulse-and-glide, it should have been more efficient to drive 40-55 or even 45-60, and stay in his lane.

So, he may have held up one car at a time, but he kept doing it, even when a police officer said he would follow him home.

Okay, seriously?

To clarify what I wrote before, if someone yells at me for something, I am going to stop doing that thing until I can avoid that person. If the highway patrol pulls me over for driving too slowly, I will drive the speed limit until they go away.
