Power plants can be run on a variety of fuels, and do a far better job of converting those fuels into electric energy than a combustion engine does converting one specific fuel into mechanical energy.

If you simply burned the gasoline in a power plant it just might end up being more efficient. Adding renewable energy and garbage incinerators reduces the environmental damage further.
