Energy transformation is an inherently lossful process. The idea here as I understand it is that your charging batteries during less that 100% utilization cycles to create a reserve, then expending that reserve to add air pressure to the engine under heavy demand.
Is this the idea more or less?
So, when running this kit is there any appreciable fuel consumption variation beyond the considerably increased use under 90%+ throttle? IE when the system is idle and already fully charged.

My cruising gas mileage is better by 2-3 mpg. I've shown 40.3 and 40.4 mpg on two different 15-25 mile trips traveling 55-65 mph. Overall average is down because I stomp on it so much.
