It's based on energy equivalency. In 2009 Nissan claimed 367 mpg.
The gasoline-equivalent energy content of electricity is 12,307 Watt hours per gallon, according to the Department of Energy.

You can read about how they've come up with the "petroleum equivalency factor (PEF)" here:

I see that those who read the articles and fully understand what's behind the Volt's engineering appreciates it, while those who don't have a clue about the technology, doesn't.

Already got one, but thanks for the suggestion.

My post was supposed to be a humorous response (if someone didn't see that, then that someone is a dumb butt - it's obvious that no house costs 1 DOLLA) to that arrogant ... who called Californians a bunch of idiots because they chose to live there. If everyone wanted to live in the south or midwest for the low costs of living, then there wouldn't be anyone left in Cali, New York, Hawaii, etc. They, however, have chosen to live in those states despite the higher costs of living.



Also, having read your posts, I'm surprised they even let you pass English classes, much less medical school. At first, I thought you were a FOB, but then I realized...

My little shoulders? You obviously have not seen my pictures (I posted some in the P90x thread). There is nothing little about them, unless you think 53" is little. Right, Rnye?



You just assumed that since I was Asian, I must've been small and geeky, but in reality, I'm stronger and more muscular than you, your brothers (if any), father, and ancestors combined.
