I'm getting 70+ mpg these days, with no drafting. I would have to speed up to catch a draft, since they're going faster than I am, but why would I? It would cost me more fuel to do that.

We have to be careful about the message we're giving out. If we want others to drive more economically, our ideas have to be something they'll accept. If there's a single sticking point, they'll reject the whole batch.

Drafting, even with explanations about doing it safely and keeping following distance, is one of those points. People hear the word, and the picture they have is of parking inches behind big rigs. I actively recommend against it, for that reason. The listener will likely not hear the details after the single word, "drafting". I don't want to be responsible for them to misunderstand me.
