My experience:
- no P&G: around 31 mpg (US)
- with P&G (engine-on): around 36 mpg (US)
And I'm quite convinced my average speeds are lower.

I get ~50-55mpg readings at 25-30mph, my engine is just as efficient running at 45mph.
I wish I head a record for the pulse to 70mph I did when I was running late a couple nights ago, coasted for ~1-1.25 miles (no real numbers were watched, just I know I couldn't see the stop sign lol.
I should say I'm comparing what the best most efficient you can get via steady speed (flat ground would be ideal) vs pulse and glide (I really don't know the best way to target a speed to compare results, the best steady speed mpgs per car are so far apart..
