Question What % of total engine load is alternator?

rgathright,
What percentage increase in mileage do you get with the alternator off?
Do you re-engage the alternator when braking or coasting down a hill?
Did you replace your starter battery with a deep cycle battery which is built to not expect immediate recharge?
If you replaced you battery, how has it effected your cold weather starting?
