When the motor is assisting the ICE, it's pushing it down into a less efficient part of the BSFC map. You'll be getting considerably less power from the ICE, but it will only be using a little less fuel.
Just to clarify, but the same EXACT thing happens when you do aeromods. Less load on the engine= less on the BSFC map, but you still use less fuel because you use less air, and you need a correct air/fuel mix for it to burn correctly.

Sounds like a good Idea to me. Would this be possible with a 4wd vehicle?
