Granted I think the cause of stop and go traffic is rarely a hypermiller doing pulse and glide but I can almost guarantee that if one were to break out into an independant, don't care about anybody but me, pulse and glide, in say Seattle rush hour traffic, you will cause a shockwave behind you that will lead to stop and go in your lane, which will lead to frantic lane changing behind you, which will lead to shockwaves in all 4 lanes and stop and go for miles. You may be saving gas and never even see it but 200 other cars just wasted a lifetime of of your effort big picture planet wise. |
Who does that. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
