The restaurant was four doors down the street - ''0.06 of a mile'' - and took approximately 10 seconds, while several others who were at the same event and went to the same restaurant walked the distance in less than a couple minutes. The car she was in - a chauffeured Lincoln Town Car - is a gas guzzler, getting 15 miles per gallon or less in the city.<ref>http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2131511/Gwyneth-Paltrow-driven-0-06miles-video-launch-restaurant-doors-away.html</ref><ref>http://www.tribute.ca/news/index.php/environmentalist-gwyneth-paltrow-drives-10-seconds-to-restaurant/2012/04/19/</ref> |
