AeroStealth and I chewed on this one before deciding on the 32.7 kWh metric.
Except on American Indian reservations,and a few exceptions,E10 Regular gas,across the country, has a lower heating value than what the EPA suggests.So we decided to use a value more consistent with the current market,as we understood it.
Nitpicking is a good thing,and we don't want to come off as if we're from outer space,but most would argue that we are.
