Yipes! What a thread!
In the upper-left corner of the Ecomodder home page, there is a listing of the top 10 most efficient vehicles on Ecomodder.
The ranking is in Miles-Per-Gallon. That's what our culture expects to hear when they want to know economy of a vehicle.
I use "Miles Per Gallon equivalent" when talking with the general public because people GET MPG. If I am talking with an electric vehicle person, I will speak of watt-hours-per-mile. They will get that.
Electric and gasoline ARE apples to oranges! It is a bit difficult to compare the two.
Electric vehicles are a bit like democracy - the worst thing out there except for everything else!
Perhaps we need a listing of vehicle economy where it is listed in watt-hours-per-mile - then just make all gasoline vehicles convert to that!
