Now is it true that you can benefit from someone drafting you? Or in our cases tailgating you .. LOL

I would say no. Also, you have to be extremely close to a very large vehicle to take advantage of drafting. It may increase your FE, but it's very dangerous. Aside from eating all the crap a semi flings up off the road surface (goodbye windshield), you can't see hazards as you approach them. What would happen if the trailer were to suddenly shed a tire?
I'd recommend the 4 second rule as taught in driver's ed. Even as ecomodders, safety should come before economy.
