A flatbed or car carrier has less of a turbulence trail behind them compared to a van trailer. I can notice how drafting effects MPG's by monitoring my vacuum gauge. If I run a steady rate on the highway and then come up to a tractor/trailer traveling a similar speed, I can actually see my vacuum slightly increase when following behind.
