You both need to read my post IN FULL.

Now of course you'll want to follow up with quality of gas, state of the engine, any water in the gas, et al. You fail to realize that does not matter in the statement of the equation. You can get 100mpg or 1, hell there could be a leak in tank, it doesn't matter. If you buy 10gallons, use 8, you'll have some left over.

It is measure of In vs. Out. The efficiency in which it is done does not matter 1 bit. If you burn 100 calories running vs. 100 calories walking does that matter to your fat level? Sure you get more cardiovascular workout running, but it's the same amount used. You said exactly what I knew you would, and you're wrong because you're fitting my example to suite your view... which is voided out in the example. If you burn 10gallons of gas, it does not matter how far you got on said gas... you burned 10 gallons. You could drive 5 miles burning rubber or 300 miles on the highway cruising. How you do it doesn't matter, we're not measuring efficiency in which your body uses the energy. We are simply measuring the amount of energy used.
Energy in vs. Energy out.
