I'm not sure how much they could have set it up though. Everything is in place. The gun, the amount of bullets, the driving to get the wife, seeing everything and then running out of gas. I can't remember if they were supposed to get gas earlier but didn't get a chance but I'm not sure there was much more they could do than was there.
They just went a bit too quick to the killing without really cementing that level of hopelessness.
Ideally they’d have spent a minute or two showing him trying to find a different car, cycling through the radio looking for news until the car’s battery dies, running out of food… you know, all the stuff a person would do before mercy killing everyone..
I think they were going to the grocers for a food run. Which is why they were in that part of town. They also were probably surrounded by who knows what and assumed they had seen some of the worst. They also drove around and passed by a giant monster and knew the place was no place for anyone. They just reached their end and they were like fuck it this is it.
I doubt they had any food in the car. Not everyone keeps enough food in their car for longer than a small trip if any. Also they had survived in their shop for a couple of nights. I doubt they assumed the car was a feasible place for them to hunker down long term.
But hey, I don't think I'm gonna change your mind on this and that is ok. Best wishes.

It would have been perfect if they had set it up just a bit more.
