Very sensible friend!
BTW, I would take the opportunity and sidetrack a bit to mention that one of the safe ways to save fuel is not to follow the car in front too closely (aka tailgating). Whilst taking advantage of the draft created by the car in front is good when everything is on the move, tailgating, especially in city driving conditions, will usually result in a need to brake repeatedly and abruptly, and will prevent the use of good anticipatory driving techniques. Such are hardly good for fuel economy.
