Clayton, in the process of debunking one EPA fraud, you stepped right into another. Yes, I said fraud. The 95 mpg number is pure, adulterated fraud. It’s based on a 100% efficient conversion of fuel to electricity, which is thermodynamically impossible. For commercial power generation, the number is 30% for older coal plants, to slightly north of 50% for very modern gas fired plants. That makes the actual equivalent mpg in the 35-50 mpg range. Not quite so impressive.
But the EPA is conspiring with GM to defraud the public. Ralph Nader, where are you?
