Get close enough behind a big rig and you can just about put it in nuetral when you get close enough to get drawn in behind in the suction that is formed there. Seriously. I've done it (not recently) and it works. It IS a bit nerve racking and you better be sure the truck driver knows you're there. Most of them won't allow you to do it. I did it on the open interstate late at night in the middle of IOWA, nobody else on the road, etc.
