If Norway is selling more electric cars than us, I'm guessing their energy grid is a bit more advanced, capacity-wise, than ours.  We've seriously got to fix that if we want massive adoption of electric vehicles.

Not sure what your point is.   You suggested that electric cara would greatly increase your electricity bill.   I pointed out that electric cars on average cost half as much per mile.    Energy density doesn’t change that calculation.

I have the diploma if you  want me to email a copy of it to you. My point is FF is 80 times more efficient than electric. According to UM.  And stop arguing with me.  I didn’t make this stuff up.  It came from my time at UM.  Bitch to UM If you don’t like it

Energy density and efficiency are not the same thing.     IC engines are not very efficient.   Where energy density matters is in range, not efficiency.

If you want to make an argument for IC engines I would focus on range or how quickly you can refuel, not on efficiency or operating cost.   If you want to drive across the country, an IC engine is definitely the way to go.   If you want a car for a daily commute of less than 150 miles one way and/or doing errands around town, buy an EV.
