Traveling in truck's wake to boost MPG?
Thanks, everyone. I had been following about 3 to 4 seconds behind trucks lately, or a car length for every 10 MPH, while making sure that I could see the truck's mirrors. So far, I think I've added 1 to 3 MPG. Not really enough to continue this experiment, but enough to satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks everyone. I'll try it next time I'm on my bi-weekly 300-mile round-trip. I figure, if I can do this consistently (and it works), I'll save $48 to $72 a year. (That would just about pay for the exhaust-pipe patch I just had done!)
