Nerys -- your fed up like the rest of us -- and we ain't just going to sit here and take it -- but no one said cheap innovative ideas that actually made sense for our wallets and the environment. Sinking $2000 bucks into a project with a 5+ year payback makes little sense.
There is no one clear cut answer -- there are many paths -- we must try and remain scientific and conduct different experiments and see what different things actually work.
Why don't you start by drawing out a diagram of what you want to do. I think your diesel generator idea will help your mpg -- but alone -- it won't do everything you want. But if it is a cheap mod and saves gas -- well it is a start.
