How about...
My wife's car gets 0 MPG, running, in park.
My truck gets infinite MPG when not running and pushed down a 5 mile long hill.

Infinite or 0 MPG?
My truck obviously gets better MPG than her car.
And the combined average is (Everything + Nothing)2, or half of everything?
So 0.5 X infinite.
Therefore we used all the matter in the universe, or spend no money on gas.
That is not true, so we should pick some number.
And 40MPG is a good for an efficient car. My more powerful truck gets better MPG than her car.  
Math says something like {(0.5
>40) + (infinity/2)}/2 = truck MPG?

That is about where you started.

Tweaking the battery is of no consequence.

The ""real" gen output" is what you don't understand, at all.
