I did find out hanging off the corner of a semi in the next lane somehow improves economy. Very handy info--it's like tailgating a semi really close but safer, since you're not beside him or behind him. Unless of course someone needs to get by. (stinkin speed freaks!)

That works because you're picking up the airflow from the side of the trailer after it separates. Call it "Side Drafting" if you will.
