The multiplier is irrelevant in determining MPGe.

That's the point.

FuelEconomy.gov says a Tesla Model Y gets ~120 MPGe. If you divide that by the energy in a gallon of gasoline (33.7 kWh), that means the Tesla can go 3.56 miles on a kWh of electricity.

I don't own a Tesla, so I can't comment on actual driving experience, but Car and Driver's numbers (linked below) are in line with FuelEconomy.gov.

FuelEconomy.gov's numbers are accurate with my personal driving experience of my BMW iX, where I get 2.6 miles per kWh, or 33.7 kWh x 2.6 = 87.62 MPGe.

Nobody is using the 6.67 multiplier but the Oped author.
