In Empire strikes back when the Rebel's left Hoth, they split in all different directions, and because of that, only one ship, with a faulty hyperdrive was pursued.
I mean, Leia was clearly a bad general as well. They figured that the hyperspace tracker was on one ship. They should have scattered the fleet. But nope they grouped them all in one group.
And honestly, that was another thing. Star Wars ships didn't burn fuel. Star Destroyers used hyper matter reactors that basically harnessed the power of a sun. Most ships didn't use conventional fuel.
It was just lazy plot device writing.
