Extreme point, but it could be made for any car. Want to look at 0-60 times or top speed? Then you are NOT going to get the EPA rated range that manufacturer's advertise.

So, I had to look... a Veyron is capable of 250-something mph, at 3 mpg on a 25+gal tank. That gives you 75miles covered, and a coast-down from 250mph. ...maybe another 5 miles.

Veyron is good for 2.0 mpg at full throttle and a 26 gallon tank, so 32-33 miles..... roughly the same as the electric range of the Volt under REGULAR driving. Both would have coast-down depending on how fast they were going when they ran out of fuel/energy.
Interestingly, the Veyron gets about 5.0 mpg at 40 mph.
