Most road-legal cars on the road today operate at a thermal efficiency in the range of 20-40%, with some reaching as high as 50%. NG generation, on average, is around 40% efficient in turning fuel into power, minus a net average 5% distribution loss.
So, sure, you're marginally correct - they're pretty much break even assuming NG as a fuel source - which only accounts for 39% or power generated in the state, 45% coal, and the rest being nuclear and renewables.
So, ya, in Indiana at least, a gasser is more efficient.
And let's not forget that in Indiana coal & natural gas account for 84% of energy production. Hardly no CO2 😂
By the time you account for generation efficiency and transmission loss- most modern Ice engines are as, or more, efficient than distributed generation.

No, but the car in question certainly does
