Some trucks are better than others.
Big square ones or busses are best.
Tanker trailers are not very good.
Flatbeds are worthless.

I saw the effects on my scangauge following my dad ~120 miles. I was in a 1997 toyota corolla following him in his 1999 toyota camry. I was atleast 3-4 car lengths behind him 90% of the time. I have yet to get over 40mpg on my scangauge going 70mph with out going down hill. There was also fairly heavy traffic which could have been making a false wind too. 3-4 lanes for about 80% of the trip.
