If you wanted to talk about "kinetic ripple", that's what you should have talked about. Blaming one type of car is silly and distracts from the point you're trying to make.

The kinetic ripple is related to the Prius, since the ripple is caused by it. I have made it clear in this thread that I am quite aware that other vehicles leave a similar wake, and that I am quite aware that it is in fact the driver, not the vehicle. I observe that the Prius is the main vehicle leaving such a wake of waste, it may be a different car in other areas. Here in CA, we have the highest number of registrations for hybrid vehicles, which may have something to do with why I see so many problem Prius drivers. Either way, no matter what kind of vehicle is causing this wake of waste, the phenomenon is something that happens.
Did you happen to google "slow Prius drivers"? It appears that I am far from alone as far as my observations go. How is it that so many people have observed the same thing?
