ok, I'll bite...

if you sit on a 112.4V powerline and your gadget shows a current of 1.52A (2.40A), then your cosole sucks 112.4V*1.52A (*2.4A) = 170 Watt (270 Watt). Where do you get 101 (160) Watt from?

 

I assume he just read what the device told him. Remember with AC current/voltage/power there are multiple different ways of reading the same value, RMS, average, 0-peak, peak-peak, it's concievable that the device showed one of these values. P=IV only works with RMS.

Although US power supply is 110v RMS, so likely the voltage is in RMS, can't see why it would show anything else.
