Why don't we just go with an overall efficiency number. For example take whatever car you want and subtract powertrain and driveline losses to get an overall number. For example a Nissan Leaf may be 88% efficient overall and a Versa maybe 45%. None of the current numbers on anything tell you how far you will go on a tank or charge now so the numbers are really meaningless in the real world anyways.
