Gasoline requires electricity to manufacture, this is often not included in calculations and debates about CO2 emissions and efficiency.
By this Calculation
1 Gal worth of energy will get a BMW M5 20 Miles (hwy miles)
1 Gal worth of energy will get a Toyota Prius 55 Miles
1 Gal worth of energy will get a Tesla Model S 164 Miles
using 33.7kWh / Gal conversion rate + the 13 kWh needed for refining/manufacture
whats sad is i don't think the graphic takes into account the electricity required for exploration (ground radar or sonar) transport requirements, storage requirements, etc.
