Taking an Airbus A380 jumbo more efficient than driving an Insight?

Just read this here and the scepticism alarm bell started ringing:

Quote:
The 239-foot-long A380 can seat as many as 550 passengers, burn a gallon of gas per passenger every 80 miles and fly some 8,000 nautical miles.
The article is uncritical in stating the point, so we don't know if that's MPG/passenger at cruise, total trip average... or even what gallon they're using.

Can any plane fans here comment?
