More inefficient than using an engine rated at ~ 25% efficiency to propel thousands of pounds of steel, glass, and plastic to transport a single person?

Sure, as you're moving a lot more material per person (and even if the engine is more efficient, upright humans aren't optimally aerodynamic -- or even as good of an approximation as typical cards -- so end to end efficiency is still going to be a problem.)
