… he would get right in back of a semi so that the back draft would carry him along to save gas. Claimed he could even let go of the steering wheel and would be just pulled along."

On an interstate highway I got in the vacuum of a speeding semi tractor trailer rig. Went 90 miles before I exited. Used about two gallons of gasoline.

Would be interesting to do the same observing real-time miles/gallon readout in our SUV.

Wow you gotta spill the beans. Just HOW do you get around without stopping at traffic lights,

Apparently you missed the point that this thread was started by R. Gift as a way to just pull chains.

Not sure why you over reacted to the fact that following close as that is not a good idea and has nothing to do with city stop and go traffic.

Bull. You calculated wrong.

Yes. Probably 1.75 gallons.

HUH??? You’re so full of it. You haven’t a clue what you’re talking about. Please don’t discuss subjects you know nothing about (like math and science).

Correct. I failed to consider the influence of the prevailing southwesterlyvinds blowing the semi’s vacuum path to theast. Such enabled me to travel ihis vacuum in lane #2 instead of being directly behind him in lane #3.

With that much fertilizer he should have a good garden with plenty to spare for the neighbors garden.

And yet, despite proper following distances, it’s amazing how often it happens in town traffic. Water misting? Wind? Negative pressure air currents? Don’t know. It must be a modern water miracle. Who knew we’d find God in the washer jets?

When I grew up in Buffalo, I used to pick blackberries, raspberries, and there was even a plum tree in our neighborhood on public land that produced fruit.

Don’t you have a flat-earth meeting to attend. Your knowledge of simple math and science is right up there with that group of idiots.

They threw me out because I.nsisted thearth was a hollow sphere.

Ah ha ha ha. For those uninitiated, it is fairly easy to pull chains around here. One false word and heads explode.

@Nevada_545

the regulars don’t stop within 50 feet from the next vehicle at a traffic light.

You leave 2 1/2 car lengths at a traffic light? 5 feet sure but 50?

[Barkydog]

I tried following a truck closely in the 70’s for the draft, too scary and my engine was overheating due to lack of air flow. Never got over spray for windshield washer, If you need $5 that bad try go fund me.

@Barkydog

I hate to tell you but back in 1966 there was no “Go Fund Me”. In fact no one I ever talked to even dreamed of a funding system such as that. We studied money and banking where we thought the money was.

I wonder if immodium can successfully treat diarrhea of the mouth? If it can, robert needs some.

Made it to FL and back in my girlfriends Gremlin on change in my change jar, I do not think pre go fund me applies to gifted ones.
