During my 10 mile non highway commute, drafting has become non advantageous. I accelerate reasonably slower than normal traffic, And let the "pack" flow past me as i keep the optimal speed for the given speed limit. I'd end up using more gas accelerating into position.
The only problem is a certain section of lights stay green for the traffic pack and if i drift too far back i end up hitting red. I like my buffer zone. If there are unexpected reds around a corner i have plenty of room to drift and maintain speed when it changes.
Be safe people!
