Fuel efficiency of (almost) everything

Inspired by a story in The Guardian about a more efficient plane design, I have combined some figures from that article with some from the esteemed Wikipedia to produce an easily-digestible chart of the fuel efficiency of various forms of transport. (Higher values indicate more efficient.)
Passenger miles per gallon
aeroplane 50
bus (national) 98
Toyota Prius 144
train 182
walking 235
cycling 653

Now, can we have more bike paths, please?
