Why is it OK
you twist the words of hypermiliers like myself, or anybody as long as they are not named Shawn D?
I don't go try to make others on the road do as I do, stay in the right lane, give everybody ample opportunity to pass, yet you have a problem. While I make some concessions to traffic, generally I drive when it's not rush hour.

I'm sure you are smarter than this remark....Atlanta is probably like Dallas with people going 10-15 over the posted limit...people exiting 1-2 car lengths off the freeway, occasionally jumping lanes, distracted, doing the left pass that nearly takes the paint off, etc, etc.
I can't coun't the number of hotheaded pickups that blast by me, then get bottlenecked 1-2 miles down the road as I glide by...they are not thinking, paying attention, maybe not sober.
One thing about hypermiling detractors is they don't recognize it requires MORE attention, not unlike riding a motorcycle. Furthermore, they likely never tried it.
Bottom line is it works for me and quite a few others I know of...the few hotheads that do the highbeams and horns are candidly from the worst drivers on the road. Hypermiling has not gotten me into a collision or ticket...can't say that of my driving more than three years ago.
Sorry, it's looking like you have an issue with hypermiling, as evidenced by your less than rational remarks.
