I did just this on my 400 mile trip with the Probe. Just driving steady 60mph, coasting down any really big hills. Passing people, not drafting.

EPA: 28 MPG hwy

Actual: 41 MPG hwy
Actual (rain): 34 MPG hwy

46% gain. The car is heavily aero-modified.

Then again with full hardcore hypermiling...

P&EOC no boattail: 45 MPG hwy (60% gain hwy)
