It's worse than that. A gas boiler is 80-96% efficient. Generating
electricity from fossil fuel is ~30% taking into account generation and
transmission.

Is this really the case with electricity generated with gas, so like for

And how about the energy used to get the gas from wherever to your house?

If making meaningful comparisons, best to start with a level playing field.
