Sort of like a hybrid Hummer will save gas, but not as much as an FEH or Prius.

An old Idea I've Had to Increase Fuel Economy

Put a flatuance pad in the car seats and connect it to the gas line for additional fuel...
I think that idea stinks....

You could eat more greens and then have a cabin vapor recovery system when in "recirc" mode for an added FE boost.
