I should also add that in addition to having no alternator, the car has electric power steering, and mine has no A/C. Thus, the only belt-driven accessory is the water pump. I've contemplated replacing it with electric, but the result would be heavier, far more expensive, less reliable, and the FE benefits would be small, I reckon.
