Hypermiling and drafting semis

I know AAA is totally against drafting semis and hypermiling. But I was coming home from work tonight doing the speed limit 55 mph. Of course, I was the slowest car on the road. Well except for the semi that was about 15 feet behind me. Apparently he thought drafting my Honda Civic seemed like a good idea.

I wonder if you'd have saved gas if he was close enough to cut off your wake?

Sure would save gas if he was close enough to give a push up the hills.
