He fails to explain the main difference in density is due to the fact that burning gasoline is done by pulling 14.7x as much air by weight from the atmosphere and expelling pollutants for us to breathe.
That is because it is probably off set by Elon's private tens of thousands of miles flown in his private jet every year and all those kerosene rockets he shoots into the sky.

Besides having a new truck built also creates pollution.
