no, because the atmosphere inside the car is static and the fly can only go as fast as his wings will take him

Actually, relative to the outside world, the fly would probably be going slightly faster 80, or slight slower, if the fly is actually flying inside the car (like in a circle). The speeds are cumulative.
Oh, and flies can't hover, so it has to be traveling in some direction.

The air in the car is also moving 80 mph. The fly flies relative to the air in the car. The answer is no.

no, because their speed is based on how fast they are flying within the air. The air in the car is not moving relative to the fly (unless the windows are open). Although I do think it would be funny to see a fly plastered to the back window.
Same is if you are walking in a moving bus, you know you are not walking at 80 mph.

This is an example of relativity. Relative to the car, no. Relative to the road, yes.
