I was drafting a flat deck semi with a low load doing 90 kph on the highway for about 20 kilometers and the mpguino was reading between 80-120 mpg , for me P&EOC gets around 60-70 at that speed.
This is the first time drafting has worked for me, I was approx 3-4 car lengths behind which surprised me , I always thought you needed to be right up close.
I had my drivers window open an inch or so and as i was approaching the semi it was buffeting,then it all of a sudden stopped and the mpg shot up, so I stayed behind and enjoyed the run.
