realistically you can only get 10.1kwh out of a single gallon of gas 33%(some newer engines are upwards of 40% )
10.1KWh ÷ 28.7 miles=
0.352KWh/mile
40-45.45MPG would be the actual so basically you have what amounts 3 gallons of gas equivalent , using the efficiency percentage of an ICE engine...

Just to be clear I was speculating electric economy of an electric pickup not actual gasoline burning pickups fuel economy.
Plus only getting the equivalent of 40mpg would be catastrophically bad for an electric pickup that wasn't towing something big, thats barely over 1mile per kwh.
