External combustion is nowhere near as efficient as internal combustion

This is copied from wikipedia It describes the efficiency of the E series Doble steam car that's more than 60 MPG
The 1924 model Doble Series E steam car could run for 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before its 24-gallon water tank needed to be refilled; even in freezing weather, it could be started from cold and move off within 30 seconds, and once fully warmed could be relied upon to reach speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour (140 km/h). In recent years Doble cars have been run at speeds approaching 120 mph (190 km/h), this without the benefits of streamlining, and a stripped down version of the Series E accelerated from 0 – 75 mph (121 km/h) in 10 seconds.[15][16] Its fuel consumption, burning a variety of fuels (often kerosene), was competitive with automobiles of the day, and its ability to run in eerie silence apart from wind noise gave it a distinct edge. At 70 mph (110 km/h), there was little noticeable vibration, with the engine turning at around 900 rpm.
Contemporary Doble advertisements mentioned the lightness of the engine, which would lead customers to compare it favorably with heavier gasoline engines, but "engine" in a steam car usually refers solely to the expander unit, and does not take into account the complete power plant including boiler and ancillary equipment; on the other hand clutch and gearbox were not needed. Even so, the overall weight of a Series E was in excess of 5,000 pounds.
@KeVince competitive with automobiles of the day in 1924
so did this car use coal to heat the water thereby creating steam?

used liquid fuel, at the time karosen, but now uses gasoline now, and will go freeway speed,
@Serg97 With the design of the boiler it could burn just about any liquid or gas this could burn waste oil from when you need to change your oil. the way that the boilerworks makes it not only efficient and burns cleaner than most modern engines. this is also a tube type so it is safer than a tank type boiler in that there is not a large volume of steam to cause a large explosion if something go's wrong.
