I'm just going to update this quickly if anyone's interested. Since semi's drive 55-60mph anyway you can drive 2-3 seconds behind them and get the same MPG you'd get driving 45-50 by yourself. Effectively better aero and therefore mpg and people are passing the semi anyway. It's a win-win. I do this in my Rabbit and when driving auto transmissions because I can see no good reason not to.
