The first leg of my trip from Dallas to Chicago, I had some great results drafting. Less than my car length from 18-wheelers, I got 73.7mpg in the 70-75mph range over the first 475 miles of the trip. Without drafting, it would have been about 60mpg. Being that close is not really recommened...
Here it is (http://www.spencerthelion.com/mpg/dont draft (so close to me).MPG) (2.0 MB mpg video)

Thanks for the view. Great choice of music!!!
Hi Chuck:
___That looks familiar and both the target and music were top notch ;) I also liked that pic of your Silver Insight tucked in close on the way up to Milwaukee. Not promoting it but just the pic looked so clean and centered.
___Would you mind if I linked the video clip into the “Beating the EPA - The Why’s and how to Hypermile. (http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1510)” article? If you cannot take the bandwidth hit, we can host it here instead. Just let me know.
___Good Luck

Wayne,
Please host the video, so I can avoid the hits, then link it to the thread mentioned above.
Same thing for the Can't Find What I'm Looking For video.

That looks like hwy 75 north of Okmulgee, Ok. Possible about 4 hours into your drive.
