Today I noticed something very interesting, probably based on my ignorance. I was in a hurry and decided to go with the flow of heavy traffic on a 70mph road, everyone was going about 80+. Thing is, I was behind an suv, and next to a semi. While going 80mph I was getting 70-90mpg consistently, even on slight uphills. The only time I would go back to seeing normal numbers at these speeds(40-45mpg) was when I would be about 60+ feet behind the suv I was behind. Mind you, everyone else was about 20-30 feet behind everyone else. I am assuming I saw this great of FE because of drafting.

Now the thing is this, I normally would have been an asshat going 60mph in the far right lane(3 lane freeway) and I am certain I would never have seen these numbers. Has anyone else tried this unsafe method?
