mid 30's - my mpg driving like a normal person
low 40's - mpg hypermiling with no instrumentation
low-mid 50's - hypermiling with a scangauge

It's no contest, it helps absolutely.

And P&G works wonders on the highway, too. I took a 200 mile trip (400 round trip) a few months ago. P&G with a 55-65 mph range on the interstate = 55mpg. On the way back, I set the cruise control at 65. The terrain was mostly flat, so hills were not an issue. 43mpg.
