More concerned with their hyper-mileage than the people around them, common courtesy means nothing as they are sooo superior to the common folk.
We usually refer to them as lane-tards or smug-tards.

When it was three lanes, on my trip to watch the shuttle launch, I was doing 55MPH in a 70MPH. Amazing how when there is plenty of space to pass my, some people just sit on my bumper. If I see its clear for them to pass, I'd drop to 45MPH, one blonde stayed on my tail at 45MPH, finally I saw traffic over the hill behind, so I went back to 55MPH.
Two lane interstate, some of the traffic levels made 55MPH bat crazy. If I knew it'd be tight for anyone to pass, I'd move up, had to cruise at 60-65MPH, move to 70MPH speed limit if it looked like someone was going to get stuck behind me.
I have to admit, when I roll up to a light, instead of coming in hot and slamming on the brakes, the light goes green, and I'm still moving, and dust their over agressive short sighted over sized SUV behind me, I do feel like a smugtard.
However, holding people up on the interstate, I avoid that as much as safely possible.
