Cars passing you= you're doing it right

On the highway, and on 40mph streets, cars regularly pass me.  Though the first week of hypermiling you may think this is bad, but after you get used to it, you begin to enjoy it.  This is because it is a reminder that not only are you driving to a destination, you are doing it smart.  Later on I will talk about how hypermilers are HYPER AWARE of the road.  Generally, what is going on is that when you drive at these lower speeds, you can perceive what is going on around you  better.  This has two main benefits that I see:  1.  You "worry" about getting a speeding ticket and/or getting pulled over is dramatically reduced.  2.  You begin to relax on the road, and eventually, relax more in your life.  That is, you begin to plan your destination more closely, and feel more in control of your vehicle and your life. /^^\
