Now we're getting circular. Go back and read the first post, in which the OP states that he is getting better mpg going at the same speed as the rest of the traffic on a crowded highway (and thus drafting by default), than he was getting by going slower.
In addition to which, he's improving traffic flow, and creating safer (IMHO, though I don't know of actual data one way or the other) driving conditions for himself and everyone around him. What's not to like? If it's "entirely lemming" to move with the flow of traffic, it also seems to make pretty good sense. Indeed, why not try a little thought experiment: be as non-lemming as possible, and drive south in the northbound lanes. Works REAL well, doesn't it?
