I "draft" whenever possible, but I generally keep about three seconds between me and the trailer. Gives me a boost and I cruise with an extra 20MPG, and usually keeps me from getting tailgated in the right lane, too. People see a semi and get out of there.

There is the problem of other stupid idiots merging in between me and the truck, because clearly if there's a space, someone must occupy it!
