Perhaps. I still see the Prius as the most common culprit. There is something special about the Prius that attracts problem drivers, and what ever it is, it makes the Prius into a fuel wasting machine. If you feel defensive of the Prius, you may not ever be able to witness the phenomenon or conceive what the kinetic ripple is, but if you happen to be objective and interested, start watching what vehicle is the source of the clogged roadway. Sure you will see people too old to drive, and maybe a few drivers who have learned how to drive in another country, but try keeping track.
