    It's also known as tailgating, (as race car drivers, cyclist, and geese "draft") which is illegal in in all Provinces and Territories in Canada; as far as I'm aware. Not only can the truck driver not see you, you can't see the road conditions further ahead, greatly increasing the chance of an accident. It's also a sign of immaturity, impatience or carelessness and a general disregard for others and the rules of the road.

    The easiest way to get better gas milage is to go to a rib tread tire with higher pressure...

    My wife felt my head last night. I pulled to side of road to let a motorist pass. I typically ran that road rated@45 near 85. I drive the speed limit now.

    I actually have been getting 21 which surprised me but I just stay between 2500 and 3000. It usually is between 75-8mph.

    As stated below VVVV you dont have to be that close. I'm sure Canada allows you to be within 10 car lenghts right?
