Subaru sandwich with box truck bread.

I had an awesome draft last night. I was puttering along behind a couple cars that were doing a little over 50 when a box truck passed us. I stayed with him and a couple miles later we passed another box truck that decided to stay with us. Going up hills where I'm happy to have instant mpg in the high teens between 60 and 65, I was getting in the mid to high 30s between 65 and 70! I only had the lead truck for about 10 miles and the rear truck for 6 or 7, but it was a great commute.
