From the article :

>>>
Since the car consumed more energy than the generator could produce while driving, Mikka had to stop for 5-6 hours per day while the Tesla sat and charged. At hotels, he left the noisy generator running overnight in the parking lot so he could have a nearly full battery by morning. During one highway stint, he was pulled over for driving too slowly as he tried to keep energy consumption down.

I did not see anything as to how much gasoline was consumed . . . But given the mass of the battery pack I suspect you might be right Sire.

And it was definitely NOT as 'easy' as driving a conventional infernal combustion machine.

(He shoulda bought one of those gas / electric hybrids.)

...the gasoline used to fuel the battery did not save energy. There is energy lost in the conversion process. This trip was as expensive fuel wise as if they had gone in a humvee.
