I tend to prejudge the Prius. It seems so common to come across a Prius going 55 in the left lane, and not exhibiting any signs of Eco driving etiquette. It usually happens when I want to be going 75, but then there is the Prius trying to up his mpg from 50 up to 51. Then the EV snob in me kicks in since I am getting twice the economy as the Prius, even at 75. I would guess that there are other hybrids that congest traffic for that extra 1 mpg, but they are harder to notice if they are most often seen in their ICE only format. The Prius on the other hand is immediately identified as a hybrid.
