I don't know why this thread seems to have gotten my interest but it has. I like anyone else would love to do away with the parasitic loses from the alternator, or power steering pump(if my steering wasn't electric assisted) or anything else on the accessory belt that was creating a power loss. However, traffic is unavoidable, delays from accidents/incidents/ weather are all unavoidable. So I think in the end the solution is to reduce rather than remove parasitic power losses. To that end why not go with the solution Hot Rods have use successfully for decades. Under drive pulleys and undersized alternators and pumps. It certainly reduces the need to reconfigure belt drive sizes, idler pulley locations etc.
