Just saying that the efficiency is probably less doesn't make it true.
As far as I can tell its a trade up between...
gasoline refining + transport to filling station + losses in internal combustion engine
versus
burn in power station (more efficient that small scale internal combustion engine) + transmission losses (6.5% from wikipedia) + losses in electric motors (less than internal combustion engine)...so I disagree.
...and that the diagram that they used as "evidence" is a suspicious straight line sourced from "Competitive Enterprise Institute Environmental Briefing Book 1996." No ideological nonsense in there at all, nosirreee.
There are still people who manage to live without the assistance of others or participation in society, inspite of the very real societal obstalces to doing so you've mentioned.

....and that the accident rate increases when people get lighter? Simple solution - all Americans should get fatter! Oh wait....
