About 30% less.

Goes to show how inefficient an engine is that runs on explosions. A gear shifter is a necessity just to keep it running at optimum rotation, otherwise it would be even less efficient.

    Gas engines don't run on explosions. They run on burn and rapid gas expansion. Explosions are avoided because it ruins motors.

    But they are horribly inefficient and 75% of the gas people buy is wasted as heat.
