Jets have a huge fuel consumption per passenger per mile; airliners have it lower because of the scale. GA is different, in some cases it takes less avgas to fly from A to B than driving a car. In my case, flying a Rotax 912 powered plane to my parents' house takes 2 hours and 30 liters of unleaded gas, driving takes 8-9 hours and 40 liters of Diesel, the environment is happier with me flying than driving.
