gas milage

Sort of, but in reality, it's much more violent than depicted. While in a tight, slow speed turn - picture upside down, idle power, pulling nose down through horizon and then back up to about 45* nose low on the back side, then rolling another 180* and doing it again and again, drawing him closer and closer while denying a shot, and then going to full afterburner about 4000' above the floor and executing about a 135* slice directly back into the offender and suckering him into a gun attempt which you defeat with a timely out of plane maneuver and cause him to cross behind you, closely, with a solid vector to the outside of your turn circle, then you can go to idle, roll to put your lift vector (centerline out of the top of the jet), at his high six o'clock, aggressively bury the stick in your lap as you re-select full afterburner and pull your nose up to 70 degrees nose high and push forward on the stick to catch it at 90 knots, 35* nose high, and ride the elevator to the moon, then yes, he'll fly right by, except he's doing the same thing to try to maintain the offensive advantage, so you try to roll to his high six while he does the same to you and you enter a rolling scissors...
I can relate to this and find I have something in common with you fighter pilots. You see back in '66 a hippie chick and I dropped some acid and I actually did some of the things you describe
