I rinse my dishes after use / before i drop them to wait in the sink for a few companions to arrive.
I believe that people with dishwashers rinse their dirty dishes as well, before plopping the dish to wait in the dishwasher.

So we are at a tie so far

I add my hot water, but not enough to cause discomfort.
The dishwasher uses extra hot water, to aid in its washing sanitizing ability.

The tie is over now, the dishwasher super heats the water at a electrically usage costs that i the hand dishwasher do not have.

The costs to wash the dish with the water:

I use about 2 gallons of hot water per wash , think a dishwasher uses less? the dishwasher uses electricity to spin the water around in the dishwasher.
I the hand dishwasher do not use any electricity doing the washing.

Now time to dry the dishes, The dishwasher consumes energy I the dishwasher consume no energy, as i leave them in the dry rack to dry.

I believe the only one who would promote the dish washer as more energy efficient would be someone selling the dishwashers or hoping to sell a dishwasher or somebody who was lied to by a dishwasher salesman or advertisement.

What would be more energy efficient riding a bicycle with a gas motor or pedaling your bike ? its a no brainier.
