JACK MY OWN THREAD******OK I have an important question for everyone, will P&G give me better MPG if I'm in an auto that cant be flat towed, so I would basically be going up to say_ 60 mph, then putting it in neutral, going down to 50, putting it in drive, (repeat) since I would not be turning off the engine and all that mess? I have been wondering for a long time******

Ok so if it is night I will usually go 50 on the highway, the other night a semi passed doing 65-70 mph, I got behind him (going almost 70) traveling about say...80 feet behind him, which would be better for MPG, just going 50, or going 70 behind him?

PS: Please don't gave a great debate about it being "dangerous" or whatever, Iv seen people travel behind semi's at like 15 feet, they are pretty crazy...

PSS: How old is everyone here? Just wondering, Im 19, turning 20 on July 25th
