AGAIN! I thought he mistyped that but then he doubled down and said it again.

When I brought my SS 1LE to a lapping day last time, I started with the needle at 3/4 mark and ended with the needle at 1/4 mark. Keep in mind, I wasn't pushing my car to the absolute limits as that was my first time. With a GT500 on a full tank, I could see the tank size being an issue for an entire day. You might have to shell out a bit of money for the expensive track has.

Nope he said it twice. Edit: Now he actually said it 3 times
I thought he meant one session which is correct and not even close to one day. Yes you will use a full tank even in a SS on a full track day at advanced pace.

Trust me, I'm not worried about a bunch of dudes in Mustang GTs "laughing" at me.

ME ME ME I'M LAUGHING AT YOU, because what you said is 100% stupid.

What is certainly possible is a car that uses 10 gallons of fuel in a 20-30 minute HPDE session. That gets old pretty quick.
10-12mpg on the street with a 15 gallon tank would drive me crazy. Our ZL1 gets 19mpg in 'around town' driving and 22-24mpg on the highway. I don't like to go below 1/4 tank in normal driving. In our ZL1, that's ~250-270 miles. It sounds like a GT500 would be there in 110-130 miles... makes it pretty unusable, IMHO.
Not that it matters all that much. There are five GT500s among the 'car guys' in our little town now. None of them do anything but drive them to C&C once a month anyway...
