The waste of energy comes from poor drivers more so than slow drivers.
It never ceases to amaze me how fast people crawl up my tailpipe, sometimes visibly slamming on the brakes before rapidly jerking the wheel to swerve around me. As if you couldn't tell you were closing in on me the last several miles until you were 20 feet off my bumper? Sorry to interrupt your texting. :/
