Not me either... Not once. I have had people pass me if I go the speed limit, but that's about it!

I've seen some big bumpers rather filling the rear-view mirror, and I've received a couple of nasty glances, but I don't think it has been any more than when I was driving my gas-only car. I've always been kind of a speed limit driver and one who tries to anticipate lights and move with (not through) traffic. I try to wave back using two or more fingers.

hmmm... haven't had any fingers either =)

None shown here either.
In fact lots of smiles, probably 'cause they don't have as many bad fumes to breathe

Nope never. I coast as far as I can to red lights but I don't hold up traffic, most learn if they stay behind me they get a smooth run without stopping. I drove like this when I was driving the Camry.

When there are cars behind me such as rush hour, I tend to stop doing the hypermiling techniques and go with traffic. When I really want to try for mileage, I will pull all the way over as far as possible and the car(s) behind will pass when clear. I have pulled off the road completely to allow cars to pass. So far, no one to whom I have shown this consideration has been rude about it.
