That is a very deceptive way of comparision. It is using the BTU content of the crude oil as an energy input to the process. In other words it uses the BTU available in the fuel as an expenses to making the fuel. Ethanol takes several times the energy to produce compared to gasoline. You may want to read through a previous FR debate on this.

In a lot of ways, it is. Same as the 'ethanol takes more energy to make than it gives back argument.' It is all how you slice and dice it, what you include and what you don't, and how it was produced to begin with.
