Most power plants run around 61-62% efficient.
Closer to 30-40% for nukes and other big plants.
I suspect you guys are referring to different efficiencies. Racer X I believe was referring to the efficiency of converting the chemical energy in a unit of fossil fuel to electricity at a power plant versus that same conversion of chemical energy in an ICE vehicle to mechanical work.
