it can save between 0.015 and 0.075 gph depending on engine conditions and tranny temp

astromans numbers are correct as well. things vary with conditions, temp,

cold n around 41 --- in-gear around 56-58 ac adds 5 or 6
warm n around 31 --- in-gear around 38-39 ac adds 3 or 4

decel lod n is higher than in-gear decel
