Dude. Did you actually look at the link I posted? The one that goes directly to the EPA's website, FuelEconomy-dot-gov...? The one that shows "EPA Fuel Economy" as the formula "1 gallon of gasoline=33.7 kWh"...? The one that specifically shows the range rating of multiple vehicles, and their MPGe based upon calculations for "kWh / 100 mi"...? This is EXACTLY what it stands for... it is not MY reasoning behind these calculations, but the EPAs... And they are BIASED in FAVOR of smaller electric vehicles that can NEVER achieve the range that their MPGe intimates.
Dude. Why would anyone think of MPGe as range? It's used for familiarity and it's based on a measure of efficiency that nobody would think of as an absolute measure of range.
