I think you would have more gains to just go 50. I think trying to maintain speed based on another vehicle wouldn't be as good as just letting the terrain and load guide you with your speed. I for one can't stand being behind a semi, I rarely notice any gain, and also the truck's wake rips and twists at me and drives me absolutely up the wall, I can't wait to get out of it. Thankfully most of them are going faster than me.

Oh by the way, I will be 33 on July 25. Happy early bday!
