Let's test alternator belt tension/mpg!

I recently tightened my alt belt as it'd stretched since installing it. It was squealing at start up. I am wondering whether the increased tension=worse fe.
Anyone with instrumentation have interest in testing to see whether tension plays a significant part.

If so, I am thinking if we all loosen our belts to where they are tight enough so as not to squeal, maybe we will get slightly better fe.
