I wonder if liquid cooling explains why the city MPG benefit is greater for the V6 version. Maybe they can run the electric motor/generator at a higher load/more frequently.
A more efficient thermal management might lead to the more effective result for the V6.

But anyway, I'd like to see what it could do to the EcoDiesel V6.
