It’s much better when you take into account that to get gasoline, you have to refine crude oil first. That process alone uses electricity an EV could directly use instead - somewhere from 5-11kWh/gallon from what I can find, which is enough for roughly 15-33 EV miles - not to even mention the energy cost comparison for the whole extract - transport - refine - transport chain of gas.
