.correct.  ;-)  Here is where I should referred to "fossil fuel based 
driveline systems", and taken the full chain from the oil well, crude 
transport, refinery etc thru gas station, to tanking, and the driving.  

.and then compare it with the ditto coal mining etc thru "my" gas 
cell loop, to gas stations charging Jack Bitterly's flywheel autos.

.baseline charge cycle efficiency to beat: 96%.  ;-)

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
