Even if it was running at something like 12mpg it would have made it on a single tank, and it was probably running at something like 15.

If they were closing the roads ahead, or if the driver was like a racecar driver it's totally doable with a bit of luck. If they did both it's even like, reproducible.

I doubt that, the official mileage for that car is 16.7mpg only (and this is measured with much lower speeds). Going at 150+mph consumes a lot more gas, probably ending below 10mpg. They probably had to refill halfway in between.

Edit: the Huracan seems to have a 90L gas tank, divided by 480km they must not have exceeded 18.75L/100km in one go (= 17.33mpg). I.e. they must have refueled at least once, if not twice

About 1 L per 5 km doesn't seem that much of a stretch... it's rather extremely gas-guzzling.
