I think for cars, significant differences can be obtained at just over 1 second of following time by following something as small as a full-size truck/suv. *NOTE: possibly illegal in some jurisdictions* But I am happy to follow at about 1 to 1.3 seconds and can feel considerable improvements in the ride when behind such vehicles - especially in a head wind.
