Golf Carts on the Road in Texas

Found this article about the growing popularity of electric cars. Most of it is pretty standard copy, but the last paragraph was interesting.

"Sharing the road with bigger cars requires extra caution and alertness, say owners. And drivers of normal-size cars sometimes get impatient with the slower, tinier vehicles. Dr. Peters recalls one driver who screamed an expletive-laced version of "get that thing off the road." Generally, though, faster drivers just pass him by. Then, Dr. Peters says, he usually catches up to them at the next light.'

That last bit is the essence of Hypermiling and saving gas.
