Today, at 200 miles, with the gas gauge on empty, I was able to squeeze 42 more miles with P&G!
That improved my MPG from 28 to 33! A 5MPG increase from just trying out P&G.
To say that I'm excited is to understate it. This is really fun. I could have gone for the last drop of fuel, but I did not want to get stranded (if I had some spare fuel in the trunk I would have tried it, next time maybe).
This after doing P&G, filling the tires to 44PSI, and removing the mirrors. The car still has a bunch of heavy stuff inside, and the aero has not been really changed.
I'll P&G this whole tank, and then proceed to do the aero mods.

Reducing the weight of the car would help with MPG too.
For example you can remove junk from the trunk, extra passenger seats and head rests.
