You HAVE to compare apples to apples, i.e. petrol use to petrol use, without getting out and pushing in one case. The point is to make best use of the petrol to minimize its consumption, not hide behind manufactured complications.

and a 640hp anything is a pinky wave.
You're missing the point. Most driving in America is commuting, most of which can be done on wall power ALONE.
