Always greater than zero difference, at least, how much will depend on the 
road situation and what happens at any junctions etc, so impossible to 
predict.  What's to lose by overtaking one more caravan?  You never know, at 
the next section of dual carriageway that caravan might pull out to overtake 
something else, holding up the whole road to around 45mph for a few miles, 
or the caravan might get a red light and 20 more cars go infront of it from 
a side-road, or the road becomes clearer and the cars infront drive off at 
60mph yet this is the slowest driver in existance and you get stuck behind 
at 40mph, or ... or ...

Yeh, might work, but still is it really worth all the hassle of having to 
wait for your car to be repaired, possibly getting injured yourself, etc 
etc.
