    I was talking about the efficiency difference between a generator and an internal combustion vehicle engine running on the same fuel.

      Thats not whats happening in the real world though. You wouldnt need to refine oil into gasoline to burn that if you can simply use the currently available methods for generating electricity

      Edit: after reading the comment you answered to again, it reads like they meant the same kind of efficiency you were talking about. Thats still not relevant for this scenario though.
