This is one thing I can speak of first hand. If for $200 worth of production parts you can increase 5 mpg, OEMS would be all over it right now making all their vehicles heads better than the competition. The auto industry is in a war to sell the most cars. It is no longer just about repairs and fixes. With sales so low anything that makes them more competitive will push theem over the competition in this crappy market.
This system will not work based on the physics alone. electric motors are so in-efficient at steady state that you'll engine will work overtime to just power the thing all the time.
