> Electric heating doesn't beat oil, either. Which makes me wonder how it is that electric vehicles are supposedly more "fuel" efficient on the cost per mile. Because I drive about 4.5 miles on each kWh of electricity. Do the math. If you're paying 12 cents a kWh you can drive about 36 miles for every $1 of fuel. To match that in a gas car you have to get 108 mpg at $3 per gallon for gas.
