"I would bet that when you run the actual numbers, you'll find that using peltier chips actually reduces your gas mileage as the load on the alternator increases."

Compared to the load on the engine of running a compressor?? I don't think so........

Peltier chips require a LOT of electricity. The load on your alternator as it tries to put out 100 kilowatts would probably seize it up.
