Easily explained: they lied. It's TV, so if they don't get the results they want, they fake it, as with the exploding gas tanks:
NBC Admits It Rigged Crash, Settles GM Suit - latimes And since "Top Gear" is all about performance cars, they're pretty well known for lying about anything that has to do with fuel economy or non-IC engined cars.
