I don't do it to save the MPG's. I do it because everyone else drives to slow.

Just kidding. I think during the summer it's worse because more people are on the road and they're in a hurry to get to their destinations. Most of the ding dongs on the highway probably don't know that "drafting" will conserve a little fuel. When they come up fast on me, I move over and let them pass. Then I hope that there's a state police officer with a speed trap ahead.
