I was hyper aware of efficiency when I bought my plug-in hybrid because it just barely made my commute in EV only during spring-fall, and failed to make it no matter what in the winter.
That said, if I wasn't concerned about making my destination, I'd pay much less attention to my habits in EV mode. On the other hand, efficiency is pretty well ingrained in my habits now. That said, acceleration has never had much to do with efficiency, and going fast around corners is efficient, so fun driving is still not necessarily anti-efficiency.
I agree though that with how cheap electricity is, and considering an EV can recoup much of the braking energy, there's a lot less incentive to give efficiency a lot of effort.
