I love the idea of a book. Making the idea of hypermiling more accessible to the public can only be good.
Drafting? A full size pickup with a cap effectively blocks forward vision pretty well, and nobody warns you against being behind them. Following too closely is a bad idea no matter what your goal is or how big the vehicle is, and people are too afraid to recommend drafting because they fear being responsible for mayhem "caused" by their recommendation.
The best benefit of "drafting" is matching your speed to a (hopefully) slower vehicle that tries to move at a constant speed. That gets you moving more steadily and gets you out of the "if I floor it I can get one car length farther ahead" mindset and into an "it's okay for someone to be in front of me" mindset.
But you've read enough arguments about it...
