(of a system or machine) achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.
Travelling at 55 might be more fuel/energy resourceful, but it misses out the productivity gains of travelling at a higher speed. There is a balance to be struck.

So you can cruise bellow 70, but you will get pulled and can be fined if driving to slow on the motorway. Is that the consensus?

Stairway 2 7's point that if you can't comfortably drive close to 70 in a car then you shouldn't be driving is completely valid. Hence driving tests.
The most important part of the highway code though in relation to driving too slow were the three general points I listed above.

Coming back from Glasgow today at tea time, on the city by-pass. In the right hand lane doing about 70-75 in a steady queue of cars passing slower moving vans, lorries and cars. (No its not about THAT debate!)
Leaving a reasonable amount of space to the car in front. Was tailgated by a black Audi trying to bully me into letting him past to gain 10 yards. A tiny gap in the left hand lane appeared, he under passed me. When he reached his exit and slowed a little, he finished about 20 yards ahead of where he would have been had he stayed in our lane.
Hope he ran out of fuel with the extra he had used!

I'm always happy to proceed in the left hand lane but generally on the bypass larger vehicles misjudge the hills and try and overtake 1 mph faster than the vehicle they think they can out run creating a lot of the problems.

Passed Tescos in Corstorphine near my folks earlier today, petrol there is 189.9. I've never understood how the same supermarkets can have different petrol prices. We are getting done here over the water for sure. The Shell garage on Halbeath road near EEP was cheaper than Tesco a few weeks back, no idea what it is now as I've not passed by for a while.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.

There are quite a lot of people that drive too close to the car in front in the UK, but I actually found it much worse in Germany, especially on the parts of the Autobahn that have no speed limit.
I'd overtake somebody at about 140kph and suddenly have some Arschloch appear two metres behind me, flashing his lights to tell me to pull into the inside lane.
I always try to pull back in at a reasonably safe distance from the vehicle I've overtaken but that would just p1ss off the Wannabe Schumachers even more. I'd often see them going into meltdown mode in my rear-view mirror, just cos I refused to pullover immediately

Yep, that's definitely a good approach.

The increase in anti collision systems in vehicles will also probably have played a part too, if you get too close to the vehicle in front most of them set off an alarm sequence similar to the USS Enterprise's red alert and others will actually initiate an emergency brake.

Drove back from Glasgow this morning and was doing a consistent 70-75 mph in the outside lane getting past the slower traffic. There were a few cars doing the same ahead of me but I was leaving some braking space. Car behind me was right up my backside and he seemed to be taking exception to the braking space. Cars ahead of me, eventually pulled in but were going about 65mph. I decided to pull in to let the guy up my rear (ooh er) past… but he didn’t. I then looked in my mirror and he was now way behind must have been going really slow (there was nothing ahead of him).

Fuel protests: Arrests as go-slow convoys cause motorway delays - BBC News
People arrested for going too slow...
"Unfortunately we have had unsafe driving on the A38 including vehicles travelling at a dangerously low speed," a force spokesman said.

Shout out to the protestor who was being filmed all morning for the news and who happily sat driving whilst on his phone and without a seatbelt on to be broadcast to the social media world.

Folk who sit up your arse at high(er) speeds
not overly related to the driving (too) slowly debate, but people who are right on your bumper at 70+ in the outside lane. I’m overtaking traffic (probably doing 60ish), where exactly would he like me to go? The inside lane is full of traffic, and he might think he’ll intimidate into going faster but it’s more likely to make me back off and slowly overtake the inside lane traffic. And after all that, when I come off the motorway, he’s right there beside me anyway, so no gain apart from putting lots of people’s lives at risk

Have a look a few posts up from yours and you'll see you're not alone in this.
