Drafting does in fact work but as others have said you have to be close enough to the rig to escape the turbulence created by the rig, which means that if the rig has to stop real quick you're going to be in trouble. Sometimes if you have a row of rigs the turbulence hits a little further away from the last one so you can do it, or if you don't mind riding in between rigs you usually can do it pretty easily as the rig behind you will catch most of the turbulence from the one in front.

All of that said, I never do this because it's pretty unsafe.

The best I've been able to muster from my Titan is 15.8mpg.  Kept the shifts under 2000rpm and did not exceed 80mph on the freeways (on the I-15 that's slow). 

Only thing with driving like a grampa is it's no fun.  When I drive normally (not worrying about gas) I avg 13mpg.

5.6 Liters is the price we pay to kick everyone's @$$

Did a trip from Portland, OR to Seattle, WA about 250 miles per way got about 18 MPG @ 70-75mph.  But in the city I get about 10.9 MPG.

Havent noticed a way to get better fuel econ.

Im finding that my full tank is lasting me allot longer cause its been parked for 3 days now

Truely, dont you all think that if NISSAN could've managed better fuel milage when they designed our trucks that they would have?   I do not have any faith in aftermarket gizmos and their claims. We have to face it that we own an american gas hog!

Lets not even mention a conspiracy by the Oil companies.

I really get great gas mileage in my garage. A full tank lasts about a month.

Thank god for company cars. You can use their gas LOL.
