Hypermiling stories thread

[Fat Charlie]

Yesterday I was behind a maniac on a motorcycle who was drafting a minivan about as far behind it as he was when they were stopped at a light. I sat way back, too far to get any help from the van, but far enough that I wouldn't kill the guy when the inevitable happened.

Several miles later, it turned out the guy was actually dumber than I thought- by at least an order of magnitude. There was a mile long climbing lane and he passed the minivan. He wasn't drafting, he was impatient! To top it off, he didn't pass the two cars in front of the minivan, he just slotted into line ahead of the minivan.
