If you close in on a semi while using CC, you can really see the instant fuel consumption improve instantly
Best improvement I've seen was from an already fine 73.5 mpg up to 98 mpg when way too close, at my usual speed (60mph).

Best result was a rather steady 102 mpg, but that was tailgaiting too close for comfort at only 51 mph.

There was also fairly heavy traffic which could have been making a false wind too.
A bunch of traffic going the same way really helps.
