Actually, please do not try this !
A large truck with no trailer overtook me today. It even had a spoiler which further increased the height.
I suddenly had an urge to see if I could profit from the aspiration effect and took the risk to drive only 20 feet behind it at 50 m/h. The result was very clear, I used during two bars an average of over 10 kilometers per bar instead of 5.
Clearly not to recommended, if decide to try it it is at your own risk. Plus I had a passenger who was looking way ahead while I had my eyes on the truck's brakes and did not blink an eye during the experience. But it was fun and proves again how dense the air is at speeds above 40 m/h.
