I think a couple things are at play here. First Prius drivers are guilty of being obnoxious hypermilers which is what was first pointed out. That may help you save gas but in the overall big picture actually contributes to wasting more gas then if you just did what everybody else was doing. Not only Prius drivers are at fault, everybody needs to do their part to make driving a better experience and very few people seem to want to help. That brings us to a 2nd part. Prius are very unique looking so they tend to get noticed whatever dumb thing they are doing. 3rd Prius drivers seem to be a little sensitive of these facts, maybe they are just more sensitive people in general. (Just teasing)
