Can we agree rolling resistance is TOTALLY WASTED ENERGY (just like aero)????

I wish I could have a variable mass car. Then I could accelerate a light car, then drive along down the road with a light car, but then when it came time to coast I could have instantaneous perpetual motion energy to coast along.........
