It seems a little over-engineered to me for the small gains in FE.
When I was with GM talking about this they mad a big deal about how this would be middle of the road compared to hybrids and normal tech. It's cheaper to do than hybridization, but doesn't have as much of an FE impact. As tech-heavy as it seems, it would be a lot cheap than a hybrid system, especially since there are no crazy battery costs.
