There is potential in some alternate fueling and engine management schemes but IMHO you need to walk before you can run. There is a lot of variation in a vehicle's operating environment and I think the learning curve for much of this sort of thing is too steep. I'd use a stationary engine as the mule, and make it perform useful work like space heating and power generation, or even pumping water or some such.

An "ECO win" as you put it, would be for our country as a whole to buy efficient vehicles and get out of the mindset that we want full size trucks, SUV's and sports cars to get back and forth to work in.
