Using the 2 second rule puts you well behind the truck.  You could get closer and get more savings but that is dangerous.  Once in a while a truck I was drafting hit 65 and that is the speed limit.  Following the trucks only cost me about 7 to 10 minutes driving 100 miles.  Going 65 to 70 I get closer to 20mpg.  Lawrence Rhodes
You guys realize that you are eating into the truckers fuel mileage, don't you. 
If you aggravate them enough, on a trip, they'll set you up for the cops. 

Oh wait!
