27 mpg in my 06 evo ix

I was on my way home from Va. to Pa. and was able to draft behind a tractor trailer for about 1.5 hrs of the 6 hour trip. I can't believe what a difference it made. Normally I get 23-25 mpg on the highway.

Hope you did not get any extra rock chips as a result though. That is the only reason I do not do that.
