your answer seems very specific on joules. Could you explain your calculations, since I cannot comprehend the mapping of how you would get a liter of gasoline to 16.8m tokens? e.g. does that assume 100% conversion to energy, not taking into account heat loss, transfer loss, etc?

(For example, simplistically there's 86400s/day, so you are saying that my desktop PC idles at 350/86.4=4W, which seems way off even for most laptops, which idle at 6-10W)
