You can't compare directly, no, but sometimes it is still worthwhile.

I had an S204 Merc C250 CDI wagon. Car was RWD and several hundred kgs lighter than my 540 Touring with AWD.

When I drive very economically on the Autobahns here, the BMW uses about 1.4 more liters per 100 kms.

Given the power, weight, and drivetrain differences, that is incredible.
