Do you folks ever worry you are really cheesing-off the drivers behind you as you accelerate nice and easy in city traffic? I couldn't seem to get the fuel efficient starts I wanted because I knew the drivers behind me were "not exactly" in economy mode.

Good question. My wife always tells me that someone is going to shoot me for holding up traffic!

I do get concerned that I am coasting to a stop sign/light and causing the vehicles behind me to spew more pollution as a result of my actions. I work in transportation and know from experience that vehicles put out more pollution and PM at lower speeds...both starting and stopping...so I have to wonder what the cumulative effects are.
