Hah, funny! Defininely get rid of the "smug" stickers!
I'm not a hypermiler (yet) but I think part of what you need to do is to try to "communicate" what you are doing to the drivers behind you. I think part of the problem is that the other drivers are not used to people driving for MPG.
Additionally, try to let people pass you. Often, you can let people drive the way that they want to without (significantly) changing how you drive.
Personally, I haven't seen any road rage (maybe a bit of impatience) but then again I'm not driving a car that is as "loaded" as the Prius!

Your question is reasonable and interesting (and it's not abrasive).
