A first fuel consumption value is determined for operating a host vehicle in a current lane on a road. A lead vehicle operating in front of the host vehicle and in a target lane on the road is identified based on a speed of the lead vehicle being greater than a first threshold and less than or equal to a second threshold. The second threshold is greater than the first threshold. A second fuel consumption value is predicted for operating the host vehicle at a specified distance behind the lead vehicle in the target lane based on the speed of the lead vehicle. The host vehicle is operated at the specified distance behind the lead vehicle in the target lane based on the predicted second fuel consumption value being greater than the first fuel consumption value.
