Avoid the Draft from Big Trucks & Get the Best Gas Mileage

Many drivers know that large trucks produce a draft when driving on the highway—you’ve probably felt it. One way to get the best gas mileage going is to make sure you stay about 10 car lengths from the back of a truck.

Tailgating a transport isn’t only dangerous but it will also keep you out of the draft and put you in a better position to optimize your car’s fuel efficiency.

Just one way to make your commute to work a little more frugal living friendly.
