i have a black belt in drafting cars trucks, I drive a Vespa 180 rally from Texas to California 2 and 1/2 trips, in the 70's. i can tell you for a fact drafting greatly reduces wind residence as when you are on a under power vehical going 70+ mph the only way i could do it was to laydown on the handle bars, when drafting trucks i could sit up and rest my back. first trip fuel cost was $7 for the 1500 mile trip!!
