I did some calculations.
I used $2.25 a gallon for gasoline.
$0.15 a kilowatt hour for electricity.
From the article 687 wh/mi for one leg of the trip while towing.
Divide the 2.25 by the .15 to get a gallon of gas equate to to kWh.
I got about 15 kWh.
Divide the 15 kWh by the 687 wh/mi I got about 22.
Thus the mi/ gallon of gas equivalent is about 22 mpg.
The best that the article mentioned was 500 wh/mi without the trailer.
Thus about 30 mpg gas equivalent.
