I always assumed that "drafting" a truck by driving close behind it would decrease the mileage of the truck. I've read since that it also improves his mileage because it prevents the swirling air behind the truck. I've also always assumed that my life is worth more than a little savings on gas.
As for driving 112 while passing, I've never driven that fast in my life. A front tire blowout at 75 mph will take you out of your lane. At 112 mph, it may just take you out.
so no driving faster and passing at 148mp. How about 135mph uphill on a motorcycle? Splitting lanes on the freeway at 110mph?

I was young and dumb once and rode motorcycles. Went between two deer at 55 mph close enough to touch both of them. No more.

You can tell by the number of rocks and other road debris that hit your car.
O.K. Mark, we (or at least me) are waiting for the rock debris hitting my car theory to calculate speed and distance.

Don't hold back now!

Before you can make an accurate computation you have to install an instrumented turbo encabulator for data collection. This video describes the device.

Now do they make a tuner chip to adjust for all this?
