I was being tongue-in-cheek... It is somewhat ironic that people are complaining about cyclists riding side by side when cars are exactly the same... even if there is only one person in the car.

It doesn't matter what the fuel source is, the vast majority of the energy used by your car is used to move itself rather than moving something useful.
e.g. unladen weight of car is, say, 2000kg, weight of person is 100kg, 95% of the car's energy source is spent just moving itself, whatever the energy source happens to be.

What would you think of other aspects of life that were that inefficient? For example,  tax collection that used 95% of tax to collect tax and 5% left available to do something useful.
