Is a Plane More Fuel Efficient Than a Prius?

What’s the most efficient way to get around? Planes might burn a lot of fuel, but they also are filled with people, making each gallon go a lot farther. How does that stack up against trains, buses, cars, or the gasoline equivalent of eating a burger and hopping on your bike? The answer may surprise you.

No matter what, not much beats the bicycle at “912mpg (caloric conversion)”
