With gas prices reaching a crisis, the Crankee Yankee (evil twin of the Frugal Yankee), has compiled a list of ways to save more gas than ever before. You probably heard of hypermiling. There are web sites where advocates enumerate over 100 gas saving tips. Some make sense, some are mind-bogglingly absurd. However, they missed a few important ones. As a public service, the Crankee Yankee reveals them to you now. Remember, these aren't for everyone and only experienced drivers should try them.

• We all know why parents are placed on earth, to mooch off them as much as possible. One way to save on gas is to borrow their car and never fill it up. This technique has been practiced by teenagers since the Model T and its place in American culture will find new ascendancy during this fuel crisis. Estimated savings: 9 mpg
