Methods and systems are provided for synergizing the benefits of an electric fuel separator in a hybrid vehicle system. A vehicle controller may hold the engine in a narrow operating range where usage of a selected higher octane or lower octane fuel fraction is optimal while using motor and/or CVT adjustments to address transients generated as driver demand varies. The controller may also adjust a fuel separator speed/pressure opportunistically during regenerative braking to maximize electrical usage as well as at low load conditions to enable extended e...

1. A method for a hybrid vehicle including an engine, comprising: transferring engine output to a generatorsupplying electric power from the generator to an electric fuel separator without the power required to operate the electric fuel separator being stored in a battery; andseparating a fuel into higher octane and lower octane fractions at the electric fuel separator. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, responsive to lower than threshold engine load while availability of the higher octane fraction is lower than a threshold level, increasing an output of the electric fuel separator to raise the engine load above the threshold level. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein increasing the output of the electric fuel separator includes one or more of increasing a separator pump pressure and increasing a speed of fuel separation. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the engine is operated with the raised load until the availability of the higher octane fraction is above the threshold level, a degree of raising engine load based on the availability of the higher octane fraction relative to the threshold level. 5. The method of claim 2, further comprising, injecting one or more of the higher octane fraction and the lower octane fractions into the engine while separating the fuel, andincreasing usage of the higher octane fraction responsive to the raised engine load. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising, in response to engine electrical load being higher than a threshold electrical load, disabling the electric fuel separator. 7. The method of claim 5, further comprising operating the engine at an adjusted engine speed-load while separating the fuel, the adjusted engine speed-load based on the availability of the higher octane fraction, and further based on usage of the higher octane and lower octane fraction in the engine. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the hybrid vehicle includes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) coupled to the engine, andwherein operating the engine at the adjusted engine speed-load includes selecting a CVT speed ratio matching the adjusted engine speed-load. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising, while using the lower octane fraction in the engine, responsive to an indication of knock, further adjusting the CVT speed ratio to raise the engine speed while lowering the engine load and maintaining a power level of the hybrid vehicle. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein operating at the adjusted engine speed-load includes adjusting a rate of charging/discharging the battery coupled to the generator while maintaining a power level of the hybrid vehicle. 11. The method of claim 2, further comprising, responsive to lower than threshold engine load while availability of the higher octane fraction is above the threshold level, shutting down the engine,disabling the electric fuel separator, andpropelling the hybrid vehicle using motor torque from the generator. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising, in response to a regenerative braking event, transferring wheel torque to the generator andsupplying electric power from the generator to the fuel separator to increase fuel separator output without storing the power required to operate the electric fuel separator in the battery. 13. A method for a hybrid vehicle, comprising: operating an engine to propel the hybrid vehiclespinning an electric motor without charging a battery coupled to the electric motor, the electric motor also coupled to vehicle wheels;separating a liquid fuel on-board the hybrid vehicle into high-octane and low-octane fuel fractions at an electric fuel separator driven by the spinning electric motor; andselecting one of the high-octane and low-octane fuel fractions for injection into the engine. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein operating the engine while separating the fuel includes operating the engine at an adjusted engine speed-load, the adjusted engine speed-load based on the selecting and further based on an available amount of the high-octane fuel fraction. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the hybrid vehicle includes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) coupled between the engine and vehicle wheels, andwherein operating the engine at the adjusted engine speed-load includes selecting a CVT speed ratio matching the adjusted engine speed-load. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the adjusted engine speed-load includes a higher speed and lower load when the low-octane fraction is selected for injection into the engine, the higher speed raised as an indication of engine knock increases, andwherein the adjusted engine speed-load includes a lower speed and a higher load when the high-octane fraction is selected for injection into the engine. 17. The method of claim 13, further comprising, in response to a regenerative braking event, braking vehicle wheels by transferring wheel torque to the electric motor, a larger portion of the wheel torque received at the electric motor used to increase an output of the electric fuel separator, a smaller, remaining portion of the wheel torque received at the electric motor used to charge the battery. 18. The method of claim 13, further comprising, responsive to a drop in engine load below a threshold load, increasing an output of the electric fuel separator to maintain the engine load above the threshold load. 19. A hybrid vehicle system, comprising: an engine coupled to vehicle wheels;an electric motor coupled to the vehicle wheels, the electric motor also coupled to a battery;an electric fuel separator driven by another electric motor coupled to the battery, the electric fuel separator separating a fuel into high-octane and low-octane fractions;a first fuel injector for delivering the high-octane fraction from a first fuel tank into the engine;a second fuel injector for delivering the low-octane fraction from a second fuel tank into the engine;a continuously variable transmission (CVT); anda controller with computer readable instructions stored on non-transitory memory for: transferring engine output to the electric motorsupplying electric power from the electric motor to the electric fuel separator without said supplied power being stored in a battery;separating the fuel into high-octane and low-octane fractions;when injecting the high-octane fuel into the engine, adjusting a speed ratio of the CVT to operate the engine at a first adjusted speed-load profile having a lower engine speed and a higher engine load for a given power level; andwhen injecting the low-octane fuel into the engine, adjusting the speed ratio of the CVT to operate the engine at a second adjusted speed-load profile having a higher engine speed and a lower engine load for the given power level. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the controller includes further instructions for: in response to a regenerative braking event, increasing an output of the electric fuel separator, the output including one of a speed and a pressure of fuel separation; andin response to lower than threshold engine load, increasing the output of the electric fuel separator, wherein the increasing responsive to the regenerative braking event is larger than the increasing responsive to the lower than threshold engine load.
