Drafting behind a big rig will improve your car's fuel efficiency.Drafting behind a big truck will also reduce the number of bugs on the
confirmed
windshield :-)

True, Ray, but if that truck just taps his airbrakes, you might find your
face plastered on the inside of your windshield! I've seen too many
pictures of trailers laid over on top of a car to want to be anywhere near
a semi on the road. and that goes for cars wedged underneath the rear end
of the trailers, too. I give 'em a wiiiiiiide berth.
Very true. I should have pointed out that I am not advocating that anyone
draft another vehicle on public roads; I am merely pointing out that in
addition to improving fuel efficiency, drafting reduces the number of bugs
on the windshield.
