Default Need'n tips on HOW to increase my milage without creating ROAD RAGE

Do any of you HyperMilers cause road-rage via slow take-offs or substandard accellerations? I am not trying to be abrasive in my question.

This would mean often-times driving at a rate that would more than likely irritate everyone else on the road. In short, I need to find out your secrets...
