Nice! By the way, I just drafted a flat bed today on the way back from Tampa. For about 40 miles, I kept the load at around 35-40%, and got a sweet 60mpg in the Civic. I think you're right, even a loaded flat bed seems to be more efficient to draft than a tractor-trailer.

I ended up not taking my car because it was almost a two hour drive, and it was like 88 degrees on the way home today in rush hour traffic. It was so hot that I ended up taking off the shirt and tie on the Interstate.
