meh, F internal combustion vehicles. Electric FTW!!!!

 

 Except that electricity has got to be generated somehow. I understand that powerstations are far more efficient then cars when it comes to oil usage, but they still (for the most part) depend upon finite resources.

 

Nope. Powerplants aren't that efficient either, but motors are.

And the reason that MPG is used is that the US uses it and us in the UK, measure stuff in Imperial and Metric to confuse ourselves! However, most car companies give a l/km measure aswell, for which a lower value is better.
