Next exhaust mod:
Put large surface area mulfler in place of current muffler and 13 gallon gas tank (New 5 gallon gas tank in trunk spare wheel well). Bond Thermoelectric generators over entire surface of 20 gallon switchback muffler. Get 5amps when fully heated and remove alternator. --- Save 1-2mpg but cost 800+ dollars.

Just guessing at the numbers --- but thermoelectric will not replace an alternator.
