Not accurate on both counts.

1. If I drive East West or North from my house right now on major national highways, I won't find a gas station for many hundreds of KMs in any direction.

2. The Veyron will drain it's gas tank in ~10 minutes, as will other high-performance cars that achieve 1/4 mile results similar to the Model S. http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/driven/1206_2013_bugatt...
