I have used these techniques before for big savings when it was absolutely necessary. Once, when I was a teenager (about a million years ago), I had to drive from DC to Columbus Ohio on 20 bucks. I used every trick in the book to improve my mileage...coasting down long hills in neutral, tailgating trucks, driving super conservative. I sweated out the last hundred miles or so, but I made it with a couple bucks in my pocket.
