Well perhaps I contributed to the nail in that coffin, but roadways are for traveling, not a test circuit for fuel economy PRs. People need to travel the speed of (at least the slowest) traffic and leave the PRs for times/locations where they aren't being an impediment.

Being honked at multiple times is a sign of being an impediment. I've not even been honked at when I allow a huge gap to form in stop and go traffic when I travel the average speed rather than go bumper to bumper.
