Reminds me of a Top Gear episode years ago where they were slagging off (from memory) the Tesla Roadster as it could only do a handful of laps on their track.
What they didn't mention at the time but was brought up many times by others is that the ICE cars they test there generally return MPG figures in the single figures while being hooned around.
People don't think about the huge fuel tanks in proper race cars and the pitstops etc.
