Removing my power steering was the last thing that helped me eek out an extra 3mpg to achieve my best tank ever at 50 tank mpg. Otherwise, I noticed a 2-3 mpg overall increase in mpg with no power steering.

Did i avoid parallel parking like the plague? Sure I did. But also taking the ps out made driving more enjoyable because the steering feel felt more direct, less floaty.
