Gas has been about 3.00-3.19 here for a good long while.
I've long since gotten over buying premium. It's only a few bucks more than regular every time I fill my tank.

However, 17*3.xx >51, which is frightening.
I might be spending less time in Sport mode and more time grannying around corners. ;D

Premium is almost four bucks here, and I need to buy premium because it's a turbo and the manual says to, and my engine pings without it.

I don't have any option, either! The car's worth it, though.
Maybe I should wait for the 320d to make it across the pond...

I do happen to drive a truck, I'm just glad I don't have to pay the fuel bill.

This thing gets 6-7 MPG, and it's diesel.

As for my personal car, I drive a Hyundai Tiburon. I get over 30MPG and usually put about $10-$15/month in it because I'm always out on the road in my truck.

Wow, with the shitty USD, it costs me more to fill up my car.
Then again, gas here is 5.27639085 U.S. dollars per US gallon

I spend ~$300/month in gas, give or take. Ugh.

Yep, it's about 3.50 per gallon out here. Other commodities are soaring too; reminiscent of the "stagflation" problems in the late 70's and early 80's.
