The IC engine is only about 25% to 30% efficient so even generating
with say, 85% efficient fuel use may help overall.

Apart from fuel cells which can be higher than ICEs, what fuel did you
have in mind to have 85% efficiency?

Not so much the fuel but what burns it to power the generator. Some
boilers can be that efficient. Electricity has relatively little loss
getting to the end user. If you use oil to run a boiler at 85%, lose a
little in transmission, the car may be operating at 80% of the energy
instead of 25%.
