MPGe really doesnt work and should not be in the "Top MPG" list.

how would ya'll feel if I listed my buddies sled dog team ? I can calculate the 2.3L per Hr they put out times 6-8 dogs at X MPH. Would that me MPGe ?

Or if I added a scrubber in the bed of my truck it would cut my CO2 output by 90%, could I claim 160 MPGe ?

I personally would feel I was lying just to make my numbers look good. Havent we had conversations here before about lowballing EPA #s on vehicles that dont have them just to have higher %s over ?

Let's all be adults here and drop the MPGe stuff.

KWH/M is KWH/M
MPG is MPG
