Cars get 700 mpg?

No, when you have to be deceptive with the description, it becomes obvious the point is rather weak.

Trains compete with airlines, not personal vehicles.

They should be able to offer that competition in time versus cost.

At 25 mpg, a personal vehicle would have to carry 28 passengers to have the equivalent fuel efficiency of a train.
I don't think even the illegal Mexicans can squeeze that many people into a car and still make it around a bend without tipping over.
