The point I made is that there is no point in using the electricity and natural gas required to make a gallon of gas when simply putting that initial energy into your vehicle drives you the exact same number of miles. You either have A to B to C to D to E to F (extract oil, transport to refinery, use electricity to start refining, use natural gas to heat the oil to proper temperature to produce gas, etc., then distribute, then dispense and burn in your engine) or you have A to B (make electricity, plug in and drive) Which one would you choose?
