Now onto the Gasoline car:

2018 Ioniq EPA 58mpg: 581kWh per mile.
So that means it takes 848.6 kWh of energy production to move your Ioniq one mile on average.

In that case the EV would be more than a thousand times as efficient ! 
Guess the k has to go?
Only part of the crude oil makes it to gasoline, the rest ends up as gas, diesel, kerosene, tar etc. The oil itself may vary from sweet to tarlike. This makes it impossible to set a number on refinement efficiency. I read about losses up to 50%, so 88% efficiency seems a bit optimistic.
