It looks like you have confirmed a positive gain of 2-3% if this was used constructively, i.e. on downhills and other times when brakes are required, this could come out as an overall gain of 1%, although it doesn't seem like much add a few of these types of adjustments together and the $'s start to add up, or as I am thinking add say a 50w solar panel to the system and there may be no need for alternator or home plug in 90% of the time.
Good work, look forward to hearing more of your progress.

Thanks Tesla, as others have pointed out, this might not actually be working as efficiently as a true alternator shut off should be. I will have to do more testing and report back before we go jumping for joy.
