The study also estimated that gas-powered vehicles cause at least twice as much environmental damage over their lifetimes as EVs, and said the benefits of EVs can be expected to increase in coming decades as clean sources of power, such as solar and wind, are brought onto the grid.

Not a car, but a Kawasaki KLR650 that runs on diesel got 100 mpg or close to it. Dollar for dollar, my Bolt EUV beats my old Sportster on miles per dollar though. When I talk about my EV to others, it's always what I lead with; not even my motorcycle could beat my EV in efficiency.

To make it clear for other readers - a KLR650 is a motorbike, not a car.
