I've found so far that P&G is superior to drafting, and drafting is superior to driving at a steady speed. YMMV.
I try and incorporate drafting and P&G. i.e, P&G behind a vehicle (preferably large). Aim so that the closest you come is a few car lengths.
If there are 3 lanes and little traffic, I don't mind going 80kph in a 100 zone. If anyone tailgates me, they know how to pass. If there is slow traffic in the left lane, I will go there. If the traffic is fairly solid and going the speed limit, I P&G around that speed. (I figure if I'm slowing down traffic around peak hour, I'm only increasing the likelihood of gridlock and massive increase in fuel wastage).
Which makes me think... probably one of the biggest things the government could do for fuel economy would be to regulate who can start work at standard hours and prevent gridlock.
