Could be where he lives and the conditions he drives in.

Try being even just slightly more open to others points of view. Maybe you'll learn something.

Perhaps.
But I don't really feel my driving style, or speeds are aggressive. Especially as I continue to age.
I drove faster in my 20's and 30's. I'm pretty passive now. Now I go the speed limit and watch EVERYONE pass me. I actually know some Hypermiling techniques, I avoid fast starts, I coast to stops when I can....
I actually think my driving style is conducive to better gas mileage not worse.
