Don't forget the weight which would reduce your MPG.

At 5% efficiency and the need to have large heatsinks to make TEGs work, the weight difference is negligible compared to a standard refrigerant-based cooling system. A single TEG will do very little cooling so you will need many of them which will defeat the purpose further. We don't use TEGs for such purposes for very good reasons.
