I definitely use geography when P&Ging. I pulse up hills then begin gliding just prior to cresting the hill. I don't really use P&G on the pure flat sections of road (of course there's not much of that around here).

(BTW, I just got my HHR and have only started hypermiling with it. The average you see in my signature is from two tankfuls driving 70-75 mph to get the HHR home before dark (bought it in Phoenix, AZ). I've now got ~470 miles on this tank and my car's computer says 41.1 mpg which is getting near double the EPA combined mpg. With a 16 gallon tank, I should have no problem getting over 600 miles on this tank.)
