That makes for about 470 k per km captured, and they're not claiming 100% efficiency. So it passes that sniff test, at least. Weight is also plausible.
Final q (other than cost): how much exhaust backpressure?

This is a crucial question! To our surprise, our beta testing of our prototype has actually shown that this is creating < 0.5 psi back pressure on the engine (negligible) and we believe we can get it down to essentially 0 by the time we deliver our first units to customers this summer.
600 miles isn't the full tank of combustion. Sound like driver is swapping tanks or something at one of their stops.
