AWESOME work so far!

In stop and go driving as you are doing, over-inflating the tires will have less of an impact. It will help, but not nearly as much as the other city driving techniques (like FAS and pulse and glide).
Tailgating bigger vehicles is about helping your aerodynamic drag, which is more of a highway driving thing. Under 60kph, aerodynamics isn't as big an issue.
