I ran from Houston of Oklohoma City like that in my '91 240SX fastback. Running 85 mph, A/C on, no cruise control, and drafting, we got 45+ MPG.... the wife was snoozing and I was BS'ing with the truck driver...
Bottom line, if you ask, they are usually cool with it, and will warn you if there is something coming up in the road....

This brings back some memories when my pops had one in the jeep, I was like 8 and would hop on and start scanning channels for people to talk to. It also reminded me of "Smokey and the Bandit" and"Knight Rider" "Air Brakes" to slow down from super pursuit mode. lol
