@Neil: I've given you well to wheels analysis. All you have is FUD. I could write a paper, fit to publish, on this topic, and it wouldn't sway you in the least, because some activist journalist telling you what you want to hear came to different conclusions.
We could argue 'til we're blue in the face about peak engine efficiency vs cycle efficiency, for hypermilers versus normies. But there's no need to. Engine/motor efficiency is already rolled in to mpg and Wh/mi, so just compare those on a car-by-car basis, using the best analysis techniques available, which indicate that somewhere around 16KWh equates to 1 gal by most metrics.

Neil, you are a person who brings out the worst in me. I despise your emotion-driven, anecdote-ridden argumentative style and your religious obsessions about seemingly arbitrarily chosen technologies. Do not mistake my further silence for acquiescence.
Hehe. I do appreciate irony though. I think I may be an anti-zeal zealot.
@04Sentra: I agree, nuclear is a great way to reduce the carbon intensity of the grid and provide an affordable way to displace fossil fuel consumption.
