In order to have less wind resistance against your car, thus allowing your car to move with more ease - choose to draft behind the car in front of you.
So if a cop pulls you over for tailgating, casually explain to them that you are just making your car more fuel efficient.

There was a Mythbusters episode on this the other day and they totally proved it saves you money to draft a semi.
But they also said repeatedly, it's dangerous!!

next time your cruising down the freeway, and its raining, or misting- check out the airflow around the trucks- different trucks have different airflow patterns. a typical tractor trailer- you can see where the airflow comes together- thats the optimal position to draft- but dont do it in bad weather, because air brakes stop faster than you can react. Its also a safety tip that in dense fog, to drive behind a semi truck, or other large, massive flying metal vehicle, and drive where you can just see their taillights- because they are your "blocker", and will wipe out anything in its path, giving you time to take safety manuvering actions. Particularly deer in the roadway, or other stopped traffic.
but pay attention, and dont blog and drive, or senator wyss will come up with some Driving under .08 gigabytes, or something.. giggle!
