I only have a LiFePO4 in my Prius currently, and don't observe any difference in fuel economy, though I wasn't carefully tracking it.
I haven't tried the lithium swap in the Acura yet, but it's on my list of things to do. My expectation is 5% increase in fuel economy when the alternator is "virtually" disabled, and close to normal fuel economy when in normal alternator mode.
