If the pack is the same voltage, I'd say most likely yes. However, that really doesn't guarantee you'll get any better fuel economy. If you're fully discharging and fully charging your pack on a normal basis I'd say it could increase fuel economy, but otherwise I'd say its more weight for no gain. It'll also be larger and not fit properly which I assume you already know.
