Energy density of gasoline (30% usable) is about 4 kWh\/kg, and current batteries are about 0.25 kWh\/kg. 0.5 is in the lab, 1 is probably attainable this decade. However, nobody outside of aviation really cares.
The BIG convenience of gasoline is you can carry it in a jerrycan. But again, the places where this is really important are very niche.
