Obviously, the losses would outweigh the gains, but we have speculated, "what if" we put "mini windmill" fans at strategic locations on the front of our cars in order to get a little bit of "free juice".

I speculated the same thing. Got the idea from seeing the guys over at otherpower.com do their various projects. All homebrew technology. Their forum website is the Otherpower.com Discussion Board || Make your electricity from scratch! and has all types of homemade wind turbines and motors and alternator's modified into permanent magnet alt's.

Neat site for the DIY'er with a little handy streak in them. In the 4 or 5 years I've been visiting that site, some of the folks there just never cease to amaze me.
