ICE cars produce 350g of CO2 per mile versus 200g of CO2 per mile for EVs. At last check, synthetic-fuel-powered vehicles took about 4x as much power per mile as battery-electric vehicles. So unless the energy mix used to produce them is *very* different from the average, that would mean that synthetic fuels would be expected to produce 800g of CO2 per mile, meaning that a modern hybrid using synthetic fuels would be about as bad as a gas guzzling 1980s-era SUV burning normal gasoline.

That obviously depends on a lot of factors including which cars you are comparing.
That's an average. The point is that an average ICE car with synthetic fuel pollutes more than an average BEV or even an average ICE car with gasoline. And that last part really doesn't depend on what car you're comparing, because it is comparing a car to itself.
