Ok, yes, you’re right, in those terms cars are not very efficient.
E: I suppose I was thinking of situations like when you have 4 people riding in the car and the trunk is full of luggage. That seems quite a lot more “efficient” than any other method of transportation I know of. Or considering the freedom and flexibility that a personal transportation vehicle + road networks gives you.
But obviously, if you’re driving alone along a route that you could have just as easily done by public transportation, walking or biking, then cars are pretty shit.
