There’s nothing disingenuous about it.

Consumer Reports said they could only drive 28 miles on the Volt’s batteries before they were drained (including the braking). 28 miles per gallon is typical for a gasoline only powered car.

Of course, there are plenty of gasoline powered cars that get a lot more than 28 miles per gallon. By that standard, the Volt’s batteries how less than the energy in one gallon of gasoline.

And how! A new BMW 328i (4-cyl.) has an EPA rating of 36mpg and costs less then the Volt (MSRP of $34,900). Plus, the 328i's 4-cyl. engine produces 240hp.
