People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

They think Gas is too expensive because of the red take and lack of drilling on federal lands (lack of new permits at least) I don't care much about EVS either. I mean, they just take pollution from one place to another and they are better on the environment, but you have drive it for a few years for them to be better on the environment. They are not going to solve climate change.
Public Transit is severely lacking, we need more trains and bicycle paths. Buses, yeah sure, why not. They are going to be diesel busses because Electronic busses don't make that much sense either.
While yes they do move from one to another. Are you aware how stupidly inefficient car engines are and the amount of fuel used to transport the petrol/diesel to each and every gas station?
That saving of gas on each stage of removing those third party for cars.
I know gas powered engines have been for a long time, but do you think there's anything we can do to make it more efficient?
Not burning the gas up rapidly in monster trucks would be the best improvement we could do with gas vehicles. Massive square behemoths with 8-liter engines are not helping.
Lighter cars with smaller engines and turbochargers, designed for sleek aerodynamic wind flow are what we can do to make gas engine vehicles more efficient.
