5. makes no difference in this case.

1/6 HP = 125 watts. 125 watt-hours is just the time rate of the work expressed in hours. I don't care if it took him a microsecond or a month to travel the Kilometer, he still is claiming that it only took 125 watts to move this distance.

Which, when you consider the curb weight of a Prius is 2890 pounds, is very efficient. About on par with a human walking that distance in 1/2 hour.
