Not even close to true, this type of hypermiling actually keeps the flow of traffic moving steady and helps all those around them. Hurrying up to stop just causes more traffic as ripple effect and actually creates traffic jams, there are actual scientific studies on this. I have friends who are civil engineers who studied this stuff in college. I routinely see traffic behind correct itself following my pace instead of the morons who are all throttle and brakes who effectively drive slower than I do.The bold print is one of the biggest aggravating things from those who hypermile. Try being behind one of those idiots when you are on a large motorcycle, they keep creeping forward and you have to keep stopping and going in order to keep balance. Those who hypermile end up causing more fuel to be used than if they just drove normal because they just piss off everyone around them to the point they are foot to floor just get around them.
