I don't believe so, at least not when you choose the engine and gearing wisely and use it just for maintaining a fixed speed on the hiway (and use your batteries around town and to get up to speed). Engine to wheels is a much more direct route than engine to generator to motor (and some in and out of the batteries) then finally to the wheels.
That is kinda why I like the
motorcycle pusher ev range extender idea
