Finally - A Good Use For A Cadilliac Escalade!

Last night I was drafting behind a tow truck with a black Cadilliac Escalade in the bed. I was doing 60mph and getting 80mpg. As the Escalade commericial goes: "everybody else follows or get out of the way". Hey, they can "lead" like this ALL they want. :P

Just out of curiosity... how close are you to the truck when drafting? Not commenting on saftey just trying to understand how close you need to creep before seeing a drafting benefit.

That is a funny commment by the way

About ten feet, so I'm not sure I got that much of a drafting benefit. I typically don't draft much since it's rare anyone is traveling at my speed.

You definitely have to be close enough behind a truck you can't see around it to get a drafting benefit. :omg:
