I don't know if its just me but I've never let people get behind me if I can help it (no, I don't think they're trying to draft me...). If I see someone on my 6 and fast, I will change lanes if possible or if not -- speed up until I can change lanes or give the guy coming up a chance to get into a more clear lane to pass.

I call that road courteousy. Since I've started HM back in June, I have yet to break 55mph on about 400 miles of driving and I've been passed a lot. (Average drive about 2 drivers every 10 miles will pass me or I will move over so they can keep going)

The guy who commented sounds like he's got other issues and is scapegoating other drivers who are IN HIS WAY... but I don't want to overgeneralize like he did.
