On a trip from NC to Houston TX my dad was driving a truck and a 35' Rv. I was following in a Saturn SL 4cyl man trans. I knew I could brake faster than him. Lets say I drove real close to the back of the trailer most of the way. To the point where he couldn't see me in the mirrors. Not only did it stabilize his trailer and up his MPG but the Saturn avg 49MPG on the trip. We used our CB's to communicate fuel stops, well his at least !!
