I've noticed that, and I think it's the difference between hypermiling vs. "normal" driving.

Hypermilers necessarily rely on a larger context in order to make the most of the energy they have invested into their car's motion. Normal drivers pretty much just react to what the car in front of them is doing without considering why.
