Since I hold no PH.D and cannot factor in the conversion of heat produced by the motor that would be useful as well as the electromagnetic energy produced during the 300 miles I can not give you any useful calculations that are not allready obvious. It would depend on the design of the motor.
Thank you GAHD for including those things to read.

Generation of electromagnetic energy by any means other than braking will decrease your MPG in exact ratio to the amount of energy produced, there is no free lunch! I'm not sure how waste heat could be used to generate electricity but if you could that would be a way to reclaim some lost energy along with braking force. Any attempt to use the engine to directly generate electricity will use energy and cut your MPG.
