Zero of my vehicles purchased in the past 40 years have lost fuel economy since new. The gas tank doesn’t shrink on gas powered vehicles.

The gas tank shrinks on EVs over time.

The gas tank shrinks on EVs as the ambient temperature drops. Ask the disappointed MB GLE owners about this.

I do not want to buy a vehicle with a shrinking gas tank.
So you have the magical ICE that can maintain perfect compression infinitely? There's other issues that will effect efficiency, but that's probably one of the more important one. I see people driving EVs all the time here in AK, so it must work well enough for some people. I have friends that drive them from Denver up to WP for skiing and return, without charging.
