That's because you've been driving vehicles with engines that were much bigger than they needed to be. Necessarily tuned for a wide powerband which gives up a lot of efficiency, large friction losses, large pumping losses, all adding up to lousy gas mileage.
“all adding up to lousy gas mileage.”
My ICE car gets better cost per mile than any electric. You never were any good with the math on all this. You’re just enamored with the torque of the electric motor. To what end is dangerous and silly.
You’re the type that would weave in and out of traffic looking for that next half second burst of acceleration thinking you were driving some kind of race car on a race track. The Fast & Furious moron type that saw one too many movies.
