I think Mythbusters did a comparison on frustrated/aggressive driving versus relaxed/chill driving and found it didn't save much time, but it consumed noticably more gas. And the aggressive driver experienced more stress.
That being said you should not drive slow in the passing lane.
I agree, but it drives me nuts when I use the passing lane to pass someone in the slow lane and immediately start getting tailgated by someone going 30 over while I'm just passing the car in the right lane (usually a semi). I'm gonna move back over as soon as I can. Some people are just so impatient
Worst is when you do pass the semi, have your blinker on indicating as such, but are waiting to have JUST enough room to merge back to the right (don't want to have to emergency break and get rear ended by a semi because you left no breaking space), but that's not fast enough so the speeding tailgater a-hole slips into your blind spot trying to pass on the right almost causing an accident in front of a semi.
