Hypermilers do this - pretty fun / a bit dangerous.

Bikers do this too BTW if you follow the sport, makes for interesting team type tactics.

There is some thought that automated road convoys of trucks following closely might generate fuel savings this way as well.

Cyclists ("bikers" is an ambiguous term) enjoy a 30% reduction in required power output to move at typical race speeds when within a reasonable size peloton compared to riding out on their own.
