Happens here. Drivers see the hybrid logo and seem to automatically get pissed off. I get a lot more tailgaiting now than in my last car, as well as other strange behaviors.

Yesterday I was doing 35 in a 30 (downhill) and had an F350 get on my bumper, wave his hands at me, and then pass at close to 60mph in downtown Tallahassee. Have had other vehicles nearly get into accidents trying to get around me, when I was moving with traffic no less.

I often make a point of out-accelerating them at the next stoplight, which we inevitably both end up at together.
