Your engine is not 100% efficient.
Most gas burners are only around 25% efficient.
Your transmission and drivetrain could be as low as 85% efficient. The differential unit alone has about a 3% to 5% loss associated with it.
I plugged all the numbers in for my suburban and they were very close to what I get in real life.
