Not trying to be difficult but...
Compared to a car?? The average fuel mileage in the US is around 20 MPG. Small airplanes are pretty close to that if not over. If you add passenger load they are much better than the average car with only one person in it.
Even the new Dreamliner A380 when loaded with passengers on a long haul is about 45 mpg/person.
Just saying...
