That is the problem, people claiming series hybrids are better and nobody has any source or specifics or any way to make an agreeable comparison.

lowest bsfc I know of is 155g/kwh, and it is from a 43 MegaWatt 2 stroke diesel.

can we at least agree that in the case where you have to go a long flat distance at a fairly constant speed that the lone gasser could be sized/geared/tuned to outperform an equivelant series hybrid? Even without much "technique"? Let's leave plugin out of the equation or at least account for the energy coming from the battery.

Yes, I want to see more electric used, but series hybrid is the electrical equivalent of an automatic transmission, which is probably why I dislike them the most. I think it is cherished for its convenience, while paying only lip service to efficiency.
