As the title implies, has anyone here measured, or is able to measure, the effect on fuel economy of oncoming traffic, and whether there is a statistically significant or non-negligible positive difference when driving as far to the outside of the lane as possible to maximise the perpendicular distance between the driver and oncoming cars?
