What is missing in this chart is BTU's per pound therefore it is over
simplified.

Also some of the gaseous fuels mentioned require heavy pressure vessels and
the electric vehicles require heavy batteries. It takes HP to accelerate and
to climb hills. Extra weight is counter productive.

Not to mention the natural resource use and recycling cost of the batteries.

This site is not the big picture.

When using chemistry equations, volumes are denoted in "moles"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_(unit), and are measured with
weight/mole. BSFC also uses weight. Gasoline is a generalized term for
a mixture of multiple substances with no fixed ratios, is that 85
octane, 91,95, 100, octane gasoline. Chemistry "is" a science, that
table is not, and was probably compiled by one of those watermelons
you described Paul. It provides no definitive information and only
misleads the uninformed ( most politicians) to incorrect conclusions.
