    People are still reeling from the after effects of high gas mileage so I've decided to make a list of practical ways people can increase their gas mileage.

    Things you can do to increase your gas mileage:


    1) Drive downhill



    If you've ever heard an old person talk they will tell you about roads that are uphill both ways so just find the roads that are downhill both ways and coast.

    2) Push your car places



    If you have a lot of friends they can push you everywhere you want to go.

    3) Have your wife/girlfriend lose weight



    Having a fatty in your car will really kill your gas mileage. You might as well be driving around two hot chicks than one fatty.

    4) Leave children at home



    Children love to stay home and there's no reason to be driving around dead weight.

    5) Siphon gas from other cars



    You can get up to 350 mpg this way

    6) Drive someone else's car



    If you're low on gas and don't have the money to fill up your car, just take someone else's car.

    7) Reinstate the rule Gas, Grass, or Ass, no one rides for free



    Even if passengers don't give you cash you can always sell one of the other three.

    8) Get a low mileage car


    This bad boy gets 1,000 mpg or so

    9) Have a bigger car drive your car around



    Normally you can sneak your car on top of one of these when they are at a restaurant or rest stop. I drove from Houston to Miami on $.21 worth of gas.

    you can use your current car towing service to get your car from your house to work and back.
