I keep getting the impression you're making the suggestion that I'm misrepresenting my lifestyle. I hope that's not the case.
Again, you're assuming that everyone is gunning it in their hybrid. I see no evidence to suggest this. As a matter of fact, I have several friends who drive conservatively in their Priuses and who do not get anywhere near the EPA mileage.
Do you have information, besides the mpg, to suggest these people are burning more gas by driving inefficiently?
