miles per gallon of what?

Bull****?

Can't be anything but :-)

Lord Hall, that stuff is free. But if all cars ran on it the price
would
go
right up.

A battery pack achieving "130mpg" bends the basic rules of physics
just like a couple of "2.173 litre per 100km Duracells" fitted in a
Maglite does.

That is a car that is charged from the mains.

Read it again. It may be charged from the mains and the internal charger
charge the batteries too.

I thought you understood that that creates lots of pollution and the mpg
figures are meaningless as far as pollution is concerned.

The electricity it uses is overnight which normally would be wasted, that is
why they offer economy 7 and 19 and 34, etc, when using overnight
electricity.
