I'm impressed that the Veyron gets over 20mpg when driven normally. Very impressed. The BMW has a top speed of 173mph (probably governed, I dunno, but most likely), this is proven by a friend of mine chasing me on my R1. The BMW claims to be at real-speed throughout the speedometer, even though it's digital. My R1 was saying 189 and his BMW was saying 173, but I wasn't leaving him...at all. I believe it. And his BMW puts out 192rwhp. I'll always think putting a street car against a street-legal superbike is comparing apples to oranges.
