    For a few minutes anyway.....
    I was traveling from Beaumont to Baton Rouge today and settled in behind an 18 wheeler running about 72mph. I set the Reactive cruise sensitivity to the lowest range at 75mph and went to sleep. managed 20+ mpg according to the computer for 11 out of 15 minutes..:bananadance:

    Then I had to get back to normal maniacal me.

    How close did you have to get to the trailer? And what was your mpg when you got out of its draft?

    It maintained about 60 ft I guess. 14.5-15 mpg.

    You’ll regret being that close to a tractor trailer when a tire carcass come out from under it and remove your front clip.

    I stay clear of these trucks after driving commercially. I now know better.

    Yeah, I drive 50k-60k miles a year. I'm aware of the possibilities. This post was meant to be sarcastic in nature.

    There is always one village idiot missing....

    Might want to put a disclaimer or emoji in the message next time. You might be amazed at what some people will do to gain .00234 mpg. ;)

    I just want to know how you got the trip info to display on your entune screen. Is that an option on the newer '18ish truck or all with entune?

    It almost happened to me with something on I-40W outside Albuquerque, NM. Reason I said something is it came on so quick I never seen exactly what it was.
