This puts the 380 on roughly the same order of magnitude as very fuel

Actually, no. There are diesel cars which burn 3 litres of diesel on 100
kilometers for the *entire car*. Which means 3 litres for 4 passengers,
or even 5 if you accept to be stuffed like in an airplane.

Hard to fit five passengers into a modern car. Usually there are two
seats in the front and three seatbelt positions in the rear, for a total
of five occupants, one of whom is the driver.

And the cars that only takes 3 liters for 100 KM is not the biggest cars
either...

If you are to compare such a car with four passengers then you would also
have to compare that to a A380 with a full maximum load of some 800 pax.
