* ''VideoGame/PacificDrive'' encourages you to siphon gas from any vehicle you come across, especially with more powerful (and more gas guzzling) engines, but makes it clear that you're using a small hand pump to do it, and not having to suck it out with your mouth.

* ''WesternAnimation/FreakyStories'' had an episode about a man who never bought gasoline. He always carried a hose with him to syphon from the nearest car. But one night he ran out and found a mobile home stationed in the middle of the road and tried to steal some gas, but he sucked to hard and ended swallowing the contents. He caused an uproar and woke up the home owner, who was unaware of the issue and the protagonist just said he ran out of gas and the man offered some. But then he revealed that the previous tank where he swallowed was actually his septic tank and that he "wouln't want to swallow that."

This trick is also quite common in post-societal collapse settings. Where there's lots of unused and broken vehicles lying around (PostApocalypticTrafficJam is probably a goldmine), and fuel is definitely coveted and needed to run other machines that need gasoline and the like. Such as generators, tools or actual working vehicles and etc.
