The majority of the time the main engine would be run naturally aspirated. Would running the auxiliary engine during cruise, with taller overall gearing lowering rpm, increase or decrease the main engines fuel consumption ?

pumping air for the fun of it will decrease mpg.
what size main engine and what RPM are you thinking, and I can run the numbers for you as to how much horsepower it will take.
