I disagree wholeheartedly. Not to be rude, but I think the fuel you save is insignificant in the grand scheme of things...
*time to wait for wrecker - YOU pay this, late for work, getting somewhere, or whatever, sometimes an hour or more
Other things you don't pay for but we all do...
Gas the wrecker uses to get to you and get you to tire shop or your home
Emissions from wrecker
Traffic backups from onlookers at the wrecker hitching your car up
I'm all about going for it and doing whatever to save, but this idea feels like a loser in the long run. If you're doing it for the environment, it's obviously bad, and if you're doing it for money savings, I can mail you a check for $2.00. That's probably all you'll save over a couple years.
