I currently have 85/15 fwy/city on this tank, and my SG reports 40.6 mpg (will be more like 41.9 or so since I set the SG to read lower than what I'm really getting).

Anywho, if I'm driving slow, I'm in the slow lane. If someone starts tailgating me or blasts their horns at me, I just low down even more. I'll take a little mpg hit (since I'll have to accelerate again) to piss them off, especially when there are several other lanes they can switch to and pass.
If someone tailgates me for a couple of miles I'll do that (slow down more) . If I'm on a one lane in each direction road and someone does that, I'll tap my brakes to get them to back off.
