Some hypermilers have managed to very effectively P&G Prius and Insights. Though they'll probably be able to get even better results with a hydraulic hybrid.

While hydraulic energy storage is extremely good in terms of power density, it has lower energy density than batteries so it would not be as effective going down a high hill.
