The people who drive with a foot hard down on one or other of brake or accelerator are
the ones who get worst possible mpg and most pollution.

They are usually to be found in the outside lane 2m behind the bumper of another
vehicle.

With all due respect wouldn't driving 2m behind the bumper of the car in
front considerably reduce air resistance and thus raise MPG, certainly
in comparison to the car in front ? Being "sucked along" is, I believe, the
relevant phrase.

Maybe it isn't all just testosterone in action after all; but penny pinching
by drivers who are nevertheless in a bit of a hurry.
