Sounds like a kind of regenerative charging but not in a hybrid. You aren't seeing fuel economy improvement because the modification (alternator delete) hasn't changed, but your method of charging the battery has. Rather than use electricity from home you are using the alternator but using no fuel to generate the charge.
Therefore you will only see a benefit in terms of lower electricity usage charging the battery at night, rather than an outright fuel economy improvement. It's still an improvement since you said you are using less grid charge, so that is where your savings come in.
