I'd do 60mph behind a truck mate, You'll never really be close enough to slip stream (not safely at least) but it'll help you keep a steady speed better. 55mph is just a little slow IMHO. Try and keep a steady speed, dont spend too long accelerating as all the time you spend accelerating up to 60mph is time that you'll be doing less than optimum mpg. Look well ahead and anticipate having to slow down so you let off rather than brake.
Keep your windows shut
Check your tyre pressures (maybe even give them a psi extra)
Maybe even consider a bit of gaffa tape stream lining for what its worth
Oh and dont do the keeping it off boost thing suggested above, they need boost to be efficient.
