The_aSSet Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Air flows around the 18 wheeler and creates a "bubble" in the back in this bubble there's a decrease in drag from air resistance so your engine works less. But you're still behind an 18 wheeler lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001silverado364 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I find when I'm behind an 18 wheeler, the draft pushes me all over the road. Maybe, I'm just a bad driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try being stuck behind them on a motorcycle on the interstate. Hope you packed clean underwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ooh yea its real fun on a bike lol but to get any kind of advantage with being behind an 18 wheeler you have to be very close. I've done it once or twice on my bike it feels very tranquil, there's almost no wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianVRss Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 there was a show on discovery awhile back where a dude on a peddle bike is right behind a 18 wheeler in the vacuum of it and its pulling him along and highway speeds, crazy stuff.

Fireman31 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Positives - Better gas mileage, maybe, enough to be calculated? My guess is that you'd have to being traveling long distance in order to see any small gains in MPG.... Negatives - Being behind an 18 wheeler which brings more sand blasting to your windshield, road rash, and rock debris to the front of your truck. No way in hell i'd do that to any of my vehicles IMO..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
