Have you ever drove behind a truck to save gas?
If you are driving on a fast highway and go right behind a truck you can save gas because there is less wind resistance so your car doesn’t have to work as hard, have you ever done that?

Well, I drive a semi & I see people doing that $#j+ all the time. It’s very dangerous b/c you can’t see around the truck. By the time you see me hit the brakes, you’ll be eating bumper.
Yes but make sure you can be seen in the mirrors of the truck. Other wise you could be dead real fast.
No. I dont do that because of the first answer.
Not a good idea considering the truck driver cannot see you back there due to blind spots and can’t react accordingly. Also, you stand a good chance of getting a broken windshield from rocks & debris kicked up from the trucks tires.
If it is a dangerous thing to do I don’t think saving a measly little gas is worth it. Your life is more important and safety should comes first.
No. In order for that to be effective you have to be so close it will seem like your vehicle is connected to the truck. Driving that close to a semi-truck is illegal in most if not all states. On top of that its extremely dangerous. If the trucker hits his brakes you won’t have enough time to slam on yours. ie…you’re dead. Is saving gas worth it? NO.
