This is certainly anecdata but I had one (exactly one) trip in one of my earlier "mild" hybrids where I was able to do that sort of drafting behind a truck pretty much all the way from home to the Chicagoland area on I-80. The in-car MPG read over 60 MPG for the trip (I reset one of the trip odometers at the start of the trip; that car didn't have a "automatically give a number for each trip" feature).I can get a 20% improvement in range by drafting a semi about 6 car lengths back.
that was pretty insane.
