Something not to be forgotten if you're doing a comparison between automotive and aeronautical fuel efficiency, is that road distances are, on average, 1.5 times that of air distances.

Thus, for a realistic comparison, the aircraft's consumption / 100 Km may be factored by 2/3 for a fair comparison.
