incorrect. Regardless of what kind of car you are drafting, 20 feet is plenty close to see a reduction in air resistance on your car. However, this does not necessarily translate to better fuel mileage.

Something as small as a double wide paceline makes a very palpable draft as much as 50 feet behind them.
