This study is so confusing, that I don't know where to start. My first thought is that EV owners don't pay anything for gasoline because their vehicle doesn't use gasoline. So, who cares about the price of gasoline? And, the cost for gasoline for an ICE vehicle is nowhere near the total cost to operate the vehicle. Here is the math:

120,000 miles/25 mpg = 4,800 gallons x $3.50/gallon = $16,800 (which is only 14 cents per mile)

Also, the study seems to calculate the cost of Government subsidies for EVs, but what about the cost for subsidies for ICE vehicles?
