Yeah, getting savings from being super close up to a semi-tractor trailer is not worth the risk. Stay minimum 3 seconds back (90m or 300ft at highway speeds). On the bright side, a car flattened by a truck will not use any fuel.

However, pacing with a semi (going at 105km/h or 65mph) from a safe distance behind will still net you savings from not speeding. You can set the cruise control or do whatever fuel saving acceleration pattern you have.
