yea, i have read somewhere somethinga bout a car length for ever 10 mph, but whatever. Anyway, we should all write mythbusters. It would be interesting to see exactly what distances behind a big truck change mpg and how much per distance. My initial thoughts are that if you drive far enough behind the truck to have decent visibility, then there wouldnt be too much advantage as the wind would have...i dont know..repositioned?:) anyway, lets send some emails to mythubusters with this one.
