Was Jay lying even during the Intercept interview?

Follow along here (https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/12/29/exclusive-interview-jay-wilds-star-witness-adnan-syed-serial-case-pt-1/):

Jay says that Adnan ditched last period and they were hanging out, and Jay needed to go to the mall to buy a gift for Stephanie. But Adnan told him he couldn't go with him because he's going to be late for practice, so he told Jay to take his car and his cell phone, and that Adnan would call him later from someone else's phone. Jay agrees, drops Adnan off at Woodlawn, goes to the mall, then goes back to Jenn's house to smoke.

While at Jenn's house, Adnan calls Jay and tells him to pick him up at the Best Buy. Jay goes to Best Buy and Adnan confesses that he killed Hae.

Jay says that Adnan told him that Hae's car was at the Best Buy, but that he learned later that was not true.

Between 3:00 and 4:00 pm they drive over to Cathy's house. That's when Adnan receives a call from the police and gets all panicky. That's when Jay decides that they have to part ways, and Adnan or someone else drop him off at his house around 6:00 (although it seems like it was Adnan who dropped him off).

At some point later on, Adnan calls Jay and tells him to come outside. Jay does, and that's when Adnan pops the trunk of Hae's car and Hae is dead inside. At this point, Adnan asks Jay to help him bury Hae, and threatens to expose his drug dealing to the cops if he doesn't. Jay agrees to help him dig the hole, but says he won't touch Hae or any of her belongings.

Then, Adnan left in Hae's car. He came back several hours later in his own car, by now it's close to midnight. He asks Jay for tools to help with the burial, and Jay gets some gardening equipment. Then they get in Adnan's car and drive to Leakin Park.

They dig for 40 minutes and eventually Adnan tells Jay he has to drive Adnan's car to Hae's car. So Jay and Adnan drive to Hae's car, which was located "[s]omewhere up around a corner up a hill, parked in a strange neighborhood." Then Adnan instructs Jay to follow him half way back to the grave site in Adnan's car, while Adnan takes Hae's car to the grave site. After another 45 minutes, Adnan comes back to Jay in his car and says he's done.

Jay and Adnan then drive to a random place behind some row houses, Adnan leaves Hae's car there and he then drives Jay to his house and leaves.

So here's where the lie comes in, maybe: Jay says Adnan used his own car to drop him off at his house around 6:00 pm, then came back later in Hae's car, left again and came back around midnight in his own car. So Adnan is driving his car, then Hae's car, then his own car again. Weird enough in and of itself, I think. Then, however, Adnan picks up Jay at his house and drives to Leakin Park, where they dig a hole and then drive a short distance away to where Hae's car was.

So here's my question: assuming Adnan was driving both cars, how was he getting back and forth between them? At 6:00 pm Adnan is in his car, then presumably drives to Hae's car (at Best Buy?), leaves his car at Best Buy and takes Hae's car back to Jay, then parks Hae's car by Leakin Park and ... how does he get from Leakin Park to Best Buy and his car so he can pick up Jay and head back to Leakin Park to bury Hae?! He could have walked, I guess, but it's 5 miles between Leakin Park and Best Buy. That's an hour and a half at a steady pace.

Thoughts?
