I know since the topgear retards hit on the fuel consuption people would be talking about it. But it's no different that a Ezno, Viper, F40... list goes on, and on... And it's not THAT bad 
it'll do more than 75 miles on a tank, no problem.
Fuel tank is 17.5 gallons, it will do closer to 245miles on a tank or more.
Note they didn't say how many miles they put on it at the track on topgear... just the choad Jeremy ran it out of gas...

Engine Specs: 5.4L V-8 550 HP

Only reason they got 75 miles on the tank was because the DROVE THE SHIT OUT OF IT! CONSTANTLY...
All cars get shitty mpg if your at redline all day long.

what people don't realize is the car was most likely at WOT the whole time

Yep, looks like a 1955 or 1956 300SL roadster. What I wouldn't give for one. More specifically the 1955 300SL Gullwing. The car is like sex on wheels
