Save gas... by never stopping for a drink.
So I was bored, I had a Honda Pilot for a week, and I was... well... bored.
And I notice, this thing has a lot of cupholders and bins, so I started stacking cans...
And find enough space for 69 diet sodas. That's 69 unnecessary rest stops averted (provided you have ironclad bladder control and can actually go far enough on a single tank to need so many). As to whether you're actually saving money by buying so much soda... (I borrowed most of these cans from a nearby store...) ...uh... probably not.

Thats alot of cans. I usually use bottles because I can reuse them instead of stopping off at a rest stop.

Well, you could always pee in an empty bottle.
Or maybe not.
(people born in the year that came out are now old enough to drink, drive and pee in their empty beer bottles... imagine that...)
Depends... ah... the crazy astronaut ex-girlfriend technique...... |

More practical would be a rubber hose or the likes.
Like a DEF or urea exhaust system... in a way. Even if you don't run Diesel.
Nobody would notice you using it unless right on your tail. And then, ah well.

Some truck drivers were damaging the SCR system by using urine instead of the real DEF. |

What a lovely conversation you gentlemen started!
Until some months after I came home from Germany, I only drank water and milk, but while I was deployed, I always grabbed a 20oz Gatorade before going on missions, for the simple fact that it was far easier to utilize a wide-mouth 20oz Gatorade bottle than a half-liter water bottle with a small opening.
What do you do when you need a second bottle?!
Please do not answer that!
