How much does each increment in percentage equate to either lifestyle once retired or how soon you can retire?

Say the usual 10% vs this 20%. How much sooner could you retire?

My lifestyle was austere. But I know that if I had saved 20% when I was 20-40 years of age I would have lost money I saved in interest on car notes and mortgages. Because I wouldn't have enough saved to pay cash for cars and big down payments on my houses.

I think I read in Smart Couples Finish Rich or something...10% savings for basics in retirement 15% for comfort 20% for luxury lifestyle.
