But they don't measure CO2 which is the major greenhouse gas. And
burning
any fossil fuel produces this.

No but like stated elsewhere its better to burn the fuel in the car than
in
a powerstation and then convert it to something else to burn in the car.

NO. The IC engine is hopelessly inefficient. The Stirling is twice the
efficiency on average, and there are ongoing experiments with the Stirling
and the Toyota hybrid transmission. That will throw the mpg up by about
100%. Have longer range batteries charged from the grid overnight as well
as on-board, and 200mpg is achievable. Stirling engines are used in micro
CHP boilers because they are far superior to the IC engine.
