No excuse, of course, but contributing factor?
Yes, I do think the truck stopped WAY too soon. Didn't really consider that it blocked the other drivers' views, but it certainly obscured my view of the school bus. Given that the offending car never audibly braked hard, I don't think they were paying attention to begin with.

The low RPM cruising at higher speeds really was nice, but it didn't pull down the kind of MPG I was hoping for.
