There are not many flat, straight places you can run at 268 mph for more
than a few minutes without running out of road.

And it uses some obscene amount of fuel....I think it was Jeremy
Clarkson or
the other Brit that drove it on Top Gear and said ( while at speed) that
it
would run out of fuel in like 4 minutes or something.....a matter of
minutes, I don't  recall specifically....but it was ridiculous....

But the real question is, were both the radio and air conditioning on at
the
time?

I read once about the Veyron that it takes 400 hp of it's 1,100 hp to
help
it get to 200 mph and the other 700 hp to make it to the old 250 mph
mark.
