This is ridiculous. The energy consumed by an average road car to move 1 human 1 mile is far less than that of an F1 car, by a huge margin.

- pmontra 10y agoFormula 1 cars are designed to run fast, so they need a lot of energy, but efficiency is about how much energy you extract from fuel, not about how much energy you need.
- jcoffland 10y agoEfficiency can be defined in many different ways. For road cars the amount of fuel used is far more important than the energy extraction efficiency, in practice. Which was my whole point.
