A "kinetic ripple" is such an excellent way to summarize what I have been getting at, thanks. I am not so great with words, but that describes in a nutshell what I am talking about. I will probably hijack that term for the future. That kinetic ripple can create an incredible amount of fuel waste in certain conditions, since the ripple leaves a wake everywhere it goes. The kinetic ripple is more difficult to conceive for those who wish to impose the way they think wasteful drivers "should" drive onto them.
