The misconception is cleared up with a little further reading. Titles are not always 100% accurate for the content they contain. Plus, its been updated on the blog. Lets move on. Thanks.

Your concerns have been addressed. The whole purpose of the article is to show that they are equivilent. One gallon of gasoline equals 32.77 KWH of electricity, period, end of story.

I think what you do is wrong, but since you don't want fix it, there's nothing I can do. End of story.

I'll spend as much time with you as you like until we can figure out what it is that puts you off to the blog/thread.
Sometimes 'Man Bites Dog' titles are chosen to attract a potential onlooker to potentially important information.Which is the entire premise of the exercise.
Anyone who owns an automobile,of any kind,would benefit from this data if they didn't already know it.And I know of no other source for this sort of info other than EV World and Ecomodder.
In 1991 it was Dr. Paul MacCready of AeroVironment, who turned some automotive data on its head,comparing the electric GM Impact and GM Sunraycer to gasoline equivalent vehicles of 100-mpg,and 400-mpg,respectively.
In 1992,GM unveiled it's gasoline-powered Ultralite concept,of essentially identical aerodynamics of the Impact,with a rating of 100-mpg HWY,reinforcing Dr. MacCready's comment of 1991.
This is all we're doing.
You may be happy that your L.E.D. lighting is 7,000 % more efficient than a kerosene lantern of the same lumen output.We're attempting to contrast the difference in efficiency between internal combustion and electric propulsion in the same way.
Engineering and physics plays back and forth between different metrics for conveying information,utilizing conversion factors to translate different technical 'languages' used in the marketplace.
Please help me out by explaining,as specifically as you can,why,or 'where' you think the article is misleading.Thanks!
PS It is the aerodynamics of the 1987 GM Sunraycer which undergirds the 100 mpg @ 100 mph capability.
