So it does not answer my main question: With Aerodynamics alone in a normally driven car with no hypermiling tenchniques or any other MPG Tricks what will you get??

I want to take long road trips and do NOT want to use hypermiling tenchniques, I want to just set cruse control and go.

You will get better fuel mileage, but only to a certain degree.

Your engine will need to produce less power, so will use less fuel. But it will be less efficient at making the power it does produce, so it's not like if you half your total drag you'll double your fuel economy.
