That's the way I used to feel about my slammed civic. I haven't had a
chance to put this car through it's paces with the summer rubber yet.
Another few weeks and I can take the snows off and start pushing it harder.
Can't wait. Though I can likely blow $80 in a single joy ride. ha.

You'd have to pry this car out of my cold dead hands first. Best road
car I've driven. The advertising tag line is "with go-kart handling"
is an understatement.

Yeah, they're pretty hot cars. I drove a 2012 X1 with the four banger. Lots
of power but not that awesome low throaty torque sound of the 6.

It costs me about 30USD to fill my tank. (BMW 320i)
As for fuel consumption in the BMW, the new 2012 328i with the 4 cylinder
twin turbo engine has more power and better mpg than the older models. I
think it's pushing over 245hp with a sub 6 second 0 - 60mph time.

My fill ups are $50 on average - will generally last me a couple of weeks.
3-4 weeks if I am only driving to/from work and nowhere else.

"That's because gas prices in this country are not based on the usual dynamic
of supply and demand."
So true. Interesting that it has happened under
two consecutive administrations ran by opposing parties.
"the usual culprit blamed for price hikes is 'speculation'."
It certainly is the boogey
I just bought a gently used 2007 BMW 325i with the 3 liter 6 banger.
It only takes 94 octane and costs me $82.00 to fill, which is 60 L, or
about 13 gal.
Lasts me about a week just driving to and from work.
Ouch.

Need to get a more efficient car. I just spent $50 on filling up the
Mini. Mind you that will last about a week and a half (35mpg combined
so far).

It says half of the power comes from out of state coal burning plants.
It also shows that coal is the fastest growing form of energy.

Not out here. I've posted links demonstrating that before. Almost
all of the electricity used in Alameda County, where I currently live,
comes from alternative energy sources. Statewide, the most common
fuels are Natural Gas, Hydro and Nuclear. Coal is used, but in
steadily reduced amounts.
