"The paper found that scooters do produce about half the emissions of a standard automobile, at around 200 grams of carbon dioxide per mile compared with nearly 415. But, crucially, the researchers found in a survey of e-scooter riders in Raleigh, North Carolina, that only 34% would have otherwise used a personal car or ride-sharing service. Nearly half would have biked or walked, 11% would have taken the bus, and 7% would have simply skipped the trip. "

Diesel vehicles get about 30% better mileage because diesel fuel has about 30% more carbon, thereby giving better mileage. Indeed, that’s why the makers of most cursing sailboats have gone from gasoline auxiliary engines to diesels. More carbon = more power.
