That statement is not totally true for all airplanes or cars. However, generally, an airplane has a larger engine that allows it to fly faster than a car can drive. They also carry more fuel in order to do this. The Cessna 72 will cruise at a ground speed at the same speed of a car travelling at interstate highway speed. Thus a Cessna would not be a good choice for traveling if you purpose is to reach your destination quicker.
