I used to work with a guy who drove a Triumph GT6. He was more than a little
nuts! He found that his car was light enough to slip-stream behind tractor
trailers on the turnpike at 70 MPH! He says he saved a lot of gas that way.
I think he's still alive. (Folks, please don't try this!)

Let's all be careful out there folks.
