This is sort of amusing and I bet the owner felt like an idiot.

Here's a little Friday schadenfreude, courtesy of some person with a video camera in Vegas. The awesome Bugatti Veyron drinks gasoline at a prodigious rate, so keep an eye on that fuel gauge next time, guys. Remember, the Internet is watching. And laughing.
 
The sad thing is, that's the one time most of those guys are going to get to touch a Veyron
 
Meh touching a Veyron is nothing special, I've already done it...it just felt like paint and metal.
 
Anytime someone runs out of petrol it's funny because it's something you can easily avoid doing. But running out in the one of the world's fastest cars, being filmed, and then having the internet laugh at you is just priceless.
 
10mpg is not that bad, but compared to the 2mpg it get when going topspeed is down right horrible.

I thought it was funny.
Heh, I get 11mpg at top speed (according to the on-board MPG gauge). Of course, we're talking about a top speed of less than half the Veyron's (in mph)... ;)
 
Man thats funny. I'd be laughing my ass off as well if I were there.

Agreed. Not only is there a visual gauge in the car, but there's also a charcoal canister that soaks up fumes like a sponge and gives you a few extra miles of range. But even that comes after the gallon-or-two reserve left in the tank after the low fuel light comes on.
 
They should have run up and given that guy $10 bucks for petrol to help him get home. Poor rich person...
