How much do you guys spend on gas?

Avly · 12-05-2011, 07:00 PM

This thread reminds me of a comedian on comedy central. Fluffy, fat hispanic guy. In his joke he states that you just cannot look cool revving your engine at a stoplight, when it costs you $20 bucks to do so. How true ....

yikes!

I do 2 tanks a week at about 70 bucks a tank. 560 for me. That is redlining it every single chance I get and always keeping revs above 4500 unless cruising for a long time on the freeway. If you can afford this car IMO you can afford to drive it the way its meant to be built. 560 is nothing if that is what allows me to enjoy the car to the fullest. If you cannot afford gas than I feel you bought the wrong car!

As everybody should! The car is rather boring and pokey unless you are hanging out above 4500 and if you are not listening to that amazing intake noise than why do you have an m3!

tlr · 12-05-2011, 10:32 PM

Guess when I got my M3...

(and when I went on vacation)

Voltigeur · 12-06-2011, 02:17 AM

markjord · 12-07-2011, 09:49 AM

I fill up with Shell Optimax in the UK which is about Â£80 or 124 USD. So however bad it is over there spare a thought for us poor suckers.

Undertow · 12-07-2011, 10:29 AM

I spend about $180 a month as a daily driver.

Mahzari · 12-07-2011, 10:50 AM

About $200 a month, a tank usually last me a week. It's my daily driver but I don't have a social life

mdosu · 12-07-2011, 11:09 AM

$50 every 2 weeks. Seriously, not sure what you're looking for, you're going to get a wide array of responses due to differences in:
1. driving habits
2. distances travelled for all sorts of reasons
3. regional and international difference in gasoline prices

Singletrack · 12-07-2011, 11:12 AM

I find it best not to keep track.

Nine · 12-07-2011, 11:57 AM

~55 to fill up, once a week, x4 orx5 = 220-275. Really not all that bad..

jqsmooth · 12-07-2011, 12:54 PM

Too much but worth every dollar. Would have bought a prius if i was worried about gas.

FLOSS M · 12-07-2011, 01:37 PM

mostly highway miles, NJ prices for 93 shell or bp, around 250 -275 per month

Veritable · 12-07-2011, 04:50 PM

I've also kept track of every single expense on the 2011 E90. Planned to do it for the 2008 E90 but didn't follow through, so I'm gonna stick to it this time around.

November 12th to December 5th were pretty typical usage. Didn't go anywhere, just DD to and from work (20min commute each way, 10min city and 10min limited-access), and 2 days of volunteering.

633km, 100.26L of Chevron 94 @ $1.419/L (both fill-ups had the same specific price), $142.26 CAD.
