That's not even considering further improvements, as for instance the Stirlec, where you have a highly efficient but unsuited to direct automotive use Stirling engine driving the internal generator.

Yes, you've definitely made the obvious point, there. The problem is that, while WE may not do those things, others will.
We need to remember that we are not the norm, here. The average person lacks the common sense (obviously) to ascertain that it may be more efficient to drive something else for different types of trips. I can quantify this by putting my Father in Law in the line of sight. This guy can't even figure out that it takes him just as long to walk to the store next door as it does to drive!
