Yes it works. I always coast behind trucks and manage to get ~2l/100km fuel efficency, usual being about 6l/100km But yeah, its a tradeoff because you have to be extremely vigilant and always be prepared to slam the brakes which makes longer journeys exhausting.

Thanks for sharing. So you only spend 2 litres / 100 km of fuel using this method? What is your make?
