I guess you didn't get what I was saying then. you throw a switch at cruise and you get to lift your foot a tiny bit for some period of time. Engine stays running, just uses a little less fuel.

If it's contribution is minimal when it has been so optimized to maximize motor efficiency and battery energy extraction during cruise, how do you expect your $200 in batteries to get you up to 35mph a dozen times when you are completely flogging the batteries and motor?!?

I think you need to do some more serious figguring.
